Why group decisions break down

If any of these feel familiar, Chooseday was built for you.

01
Endless emoji polls with no declared winner

Slack's built-in emoji polls are public, have no deadline, and produce no declared winner. Whoever counts the reactions at an arbitrary moment makes the call. Chooseday replaces the emoji poll with a real vote that closes automatically and declares a result.

02
No anonymity means no honest votes

When the CEO reacts first on a Slack poll, everyone follows. Public emoji polls measure social conformity, not genuine preference. Chooseday's anonymous mode means votes reflect what people actually think — not what they think they should say.

03
Decisions made in Slack disappear after 90 days

Slack's free plan archives messages and the decisions buried in them. Chooseday stores every decision permanently — with all options, the vote breakdown, and the declared winner — so your team always has a searchable record of what was decided and why.

How it works

From question to answer in minutes

01
Create a decision in Chooseday

Name the decision, add your options, choose a voting mode (majority, ranked choice, or dot voting), enable anonymous mode if needed, and set a deadline. Takes under 2 minutes.

02
Paste the link in your Slack channel

Copy the voting link and paste it into any Slack channel, group DM, or direct message. Add a note about the deadline. Anyone with the link can vote — no Chooseday account required.

03
Team votes in one click from Slack

Team members click the link, see the options, and vote in under 30 seconds from their browser. Chooseday sends reminders as the deadline approaches for anyone who hasn't voted yet.

04
Winner declared automatically

When the deadline closes, the winner is declared and results are visible to all participants. The decision is logged permanently in your Chooseday workspace with a full audit trail.

Features

Everything your team needs

Built specifically for group decisions — not adapted from a survey tool.

One link, instant participation

Share a single link in Slack — no app install, no Slack permissions, no workspace configuration. Anyone with the link can vote immediately, including guests and external collaborators.

Truly anonymous voting

Enable anonymous mode and votes are completely private — even to you as the decision creator. Nobody can see who voted for what, removing the social pressure that distorts public Slack polls.

Deadline-driven with automatic reminders

Every decision has a deadline. Chooseday reminds voters who haven't participated as the deadline approaches, so you stop chasing people individually over Slack DM.

Ranked choice and dot voting via Slack

Run IRV ranked choice or dot voting through a Slack link — voting modes unavailable in native Slack polls. Participants rank or allocate points in the browser; results are calculated automatically.

No account needed to vote

Teammates vote by clicking a link — no sign-up, no app download. Works for contractors, external stakeholders, and anyone in your Slack workspace who shouldn't need another account.

Permanent decision record

Every decision shared via Slack is permanently stored in your Chooseday workspace — options, vote breakdown, declared winner, and timestamp. Never lose track of what was decided.

Use cases

Who uses Chooseday

Teams across every industry — from startups to communities.

Social proof

What teams are saying

We replaced every Slack emoji poll with a Chooseday link. Decisions that used to take days of thread chaos now close in 24 hours with a declared winner.

CPO, Paystack

The anonymous mode was the unlock. People now vote on what they actually think — not what the most senior person in the channel already reacted to.

Akin F
VP People, Andela

Our team is across four timezones. Async voting via Slack links means everyone participates in their working hours, not just whoever happens to be online when the message goes out.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

You create a decision in Chooseday, copy the shareable voting link, and paste it in any Slack channel or DM. Team members click the link and vote in their browser in under 30 seconds — no Slack app installation required. On the Team plan, you can also use the native /chooseday slash command to create and share decisions without leaving Slack.

Yes. Enable anonymous mode when creating a decision and votes are completely private — not visible to other voters, the decision creator, or anyone in the Slack channel. This removes the social pressure that comes from standard emoji polls where the manager's reaction shapes everyone else's.

Sharing Chooseday links in Slack works on all plans including the free tier. You can create decisions, share links in Slack, and get declared results at no cost. The native /chooseday slash command and automated Slack reminders are available on the Team plan.

The /chooseday slash command (Team plan) lets you create a new decision directly inside Slack without switching tabs. Type /chooseday, fill in the options and deadline, and Chooseday posts the voting link to the channel automatically. It also lets you check live results from within Slack.

Chooseday sends email and in-app reminders to voters who haven't participated as the deadline approaches. Automated Slack message reminders are available on the Team plan. On the free plan, you can manually re-share the voting link in Slack to prompt participation.

Unlike Slack's free plan which archives messages after 90 days, every Chooseday decision is stored permanently in your workspace — searchable, auditable, and with the full record of options, votes, and the declared winner.
