catchup

Virtual Coffee for Slack

Visit catchup

Catchup automates recurring introductions between members of a Slack workspace. Admins configure a Catchup channel with a cadence (e.g. 10am on Wednesday every 2 weeks), and members are matched in direct messages — either 1:1 or in groups of 3 to 8. The app supports custom intro messages, roles for targeted matching (e.g. New Starters with Managers), automatic pausing of inactive members, and weekly match statistics. It integrates with Google Calendar and Outlook on paid plans.
