stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud App for Slack

Continuous Feedback & Growth, Directly in Slack

What Our App for Slack Does

The stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud App for Slack brings our continuous feedback and growth platform directly into your team’s daily workflow. Feedback conversations, progress check-ins, and personalized coaching all happen seamlessly inside Slack: no extra tools, no extra overhead.

Designed to replace traditional performance reviews, our Slack integration helps individuals and teams grow through clarity, alignment, and measurable progress in just 3 minutes a week.

How stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud Integrates With Slack

Automated Feedback Prompts

Our bot automatically initiates 360 feedback conversations based on backend events during working hours and never on holidays.

360 Feedback Collection

Team members can share input about peers, themselves, managers, or mentees through short guided and specific conversations.

Personalized Questions

Questions are tailored to your team’s objectives, required skills, competencies, and each individual’s personal development plan.

Probation Check-ins

Every 2 weeks during onboarding, new hires get a short self-check DM, so they can flag what is working and what needs support before issues compound.

eNPS Surveys

When HR launches an eNPS round, the bot DMs each user a one-question prompt with one-tap rating buttons. Results aggregate by country, function, tenure, language, and timezone.

Actionable Insights

All responses feed into stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud’s growth engine: powering action plans, trend insights, and team-level analytics.

Always On, Never at the Wrong Time

Branco runs on a schedule, not on someone’s calendar. Once your team is set up, every prompt fires automatically:

  • Working hours only: each prompt respects the recipient’s country and timezone, so no one gets a feedback ping at 3am.
  • Holiday-aware: country-specific holiday calendar, so we skip the day off.
  • Built-in cadence: peer feedback bi-weekly, probation check-ins biweekly, self-reflection on schedule. No one has to remember to send anything.
  • Friendly nudge: if a teammate misses a prompt, Branco re-pings them once a day until they reply or the cycle moves on.

The only manual touchpoints are eNPS surveys (HR launches a round when they want one) and the Test Feedback loop button on the Integrations page, for when you want to fire a prompt at yourself to see how it works.

How to Configure the App

  1. Sign up at https://app.stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud/sign-up with your work email.
  2. The onboarding wizard walks you through your company structure: function, role, and career step. This is what feedback questions are tailored to.
  3. Inside the wizard, click Enable Branco to connect your Slack workspace and approve the requested permissions.
  4. Add your team members, manually or via the BambooHR sync.
  5. From the Branco dashboard, open Integrations (IT admin only) → Slack and click Test Feedback loop to fire a test prompt to your own Slack DM.
  6. Once at least two teammates are added, the first automatic feedback loop typically starts within 24 hours, during working hours and never on holidays.

What Triggers Messages in Slack

Branco only messages you in the Messages tab, as a direct message from the bot. It does not post in public or private channels and does not respond to @mentions in channels. The triggers are:

  • Bi-weekly peer feedback cycles.
  • Biweekly probation check-ins during a new hire’s onboarding window.
  • eNPS surveys when HR launches a round, delivered as one-question DMs with one-tap rating buttons.
  • Probation reviews between manager and direct report, with a link to the dashboard.
  • Self-reflection prompts aligned to personal development plans.

How the Bot Responds in DMs

Inside the DM thread with Branco:

  • Peer feedback: a short back-and-forth in your own words. Our AI scores the quality of your replies and keeps the conversation going until it has what it needs.
  • Probation check-ins and eNPS surveys: tap-to-answer buttons. The bot replies with a receipt so you can scroll back and see what you answered. Probation check-ins wrap up with a quick plain-text comment.
  • Probation reviews: the bot drops a link to the Branco dashboard, where you and your manager continue the conversation.
  • Anything else you DM Branco: a short note that says it is not a general-purpose chatbot.

AI Use Notice

stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud uses generative AI (Google Vertex AI) to draft feedback questions, score the quality of responses, and suggest personal growth actions. AI output can be incomplete or inaccurate. Always read AI suggestions with care, and rely on human judgement when making people decisions.

How to Disconnect

You can disconnect Branco from your Slack workspace at any time, in two ways:

  • From the Branco dashboard, open Integrations → Slack and click Disconnect Slack. Branco will revoke its own access token and remove the connection.
  • From your Slack workspace settings, open Apps → stg-branco-staging.kinsta.cloud and remove the app. Branco cleans up the connection on its side automatically.
