Hey Product Hunters! ๐
We would like to tell you the backstory and introduce you to Poppins, a productivity app that makes Slack actionable! ๐
๐จ๐ปโ๐ป So why did we create Poppins?
Poppins was built as an internal tool out of sheer frustration to solve our own problems of context switching on Slack!
We tried and tested every possible way to make our work productive by using ticketing tools and productivity hacks but every time we had to move outside of Slack.
So we built a simple digest for Slack named Poppins, it helped us save ~1 hour and soon we started getting a lot of interest from fellow founders to use it as well.
๐ป Due to the demand, we launched Poppins on the slack app directory and within a few days, Slack featured Poppins as the #1 new & noteworthy app. Teams from all over the world started using Poppins and within 4 weeks, we crossed 100 teams in more than 40 countries.
๐
We have also been featured as the #1 Brilliant Bot on the Slack app directory and invited by Slack to talk about productivity during the Slack event.
๐ We have been the #1 Product of the week on Remote tools.
โ But what is Poppins?
๐ A Slack app that allows users to capture messages and make them as action items or discussion items.
Slack users find it helpful as a personal CRM to stay on top of Slack for their teams to manage items on Slack and across the workspace.
๐ No Context Switching: Everything happens right inside Slack, users never leave slack which keeps them productive and saves time. Users are already saving ~1 hour daily!
๐ Meeting Notes on Slack: Teams use Poppins to capture important discussions during meetings, 1:1โs, and all-hands to act on them later.
๐ Doneโs report: when an item is done, it is captured in the doneโs report, at the end of the week, users get an overview of all their dones items chronologically.
โ Who is this for?
Poppins is used by everyone in the organization.
Founders and Leaders: Use Poppins to get a birdโs eye view, workspace, and cross-workspace digest
Managers and Team Leads: Use Poppins to manage their teamโs action items within Slack. Use cases cover 1:1โs, all-hands meetings, etc.
Individual: Used as a personal to-do list and CRM
Community: Used to manage items and find resources
Alsoโฆ
๐ Poppins is an encrypted platform. โ100โs of teams trust us.
Excellent customer support: weโre humbled and proud of the customer love we have been getting, we love to jump on calls, email, Twitter, LinkedIn, or wherever our users are and help them.
๐ข Coming Soon: Weโre working tirelessly to help users capture action items outside of Slack as well on platforms like Google Meet, Zoom, Emails, etc. Our goal is to help every employee get 40% more productive.
