chat:write
Post the daily pulse signal in your chosen channel.
im:write
Send private DMs to users with the daily check-in prompt.
channels:read / groups:read
Let you pick which channel to post the pulse in during setup.
channels:join
Automatically join your chosen channel so it can post there.
reactions:read

commands
Power slash commands like /office and /office week.
What happens after install
- Quorom DMs you to pick a channel and a daily reminder time (8 AM, 9 AM, 4 PM, 5 PM, or 6 PM).
- At that time each day, Quorom sends every team member a private DM asking if they're coming in tomorrow.
- Each person taps Yes, Maybe, or No — privately.
- The aggregate signal updates automatically in your chosen channel. No individual responses are shown.
- Use
/office week anytime to see the energy forecast for the rest of the week.
Where the daily pulse appears
- The pulse lives in whichever Slack channel you chose during setup (e.g. #office-vibe).
- It updates automatically as people respond throughout the day.
- It shows the overall office signal — not who said what.
- Anyone in that channel can see the vibe at a glance, any time.
How users answer
- Each user gets a private DM from Quorom at the daily reminder time.
- They tap Yes, Maybe, or No — no typing required.
- Their individual response is never shown to anyone else.
- Changed your mind? Use
/office cancel to clear your response.
- Want to check the vibe first? Use
/office to see tomorrow's signal.
Troubleshooting
Nothing is posting in the channel
- Make sure Quorom has been added to the channel. In Slack, open the channel → click the member count → Add apps → find Quorom.
- Check that the channel you selected during setup still exists.
Users didn't receive the daily prompt
- Confirm Quorom has permission to send DMs in your workspace (the
im:write scope).
- Ask users to check their Slack notification settings — DMs from apps can be muted.
- Prompts only go out once per day at the configured time. If it's already passed, the next one is tomorrow.
No signal is showing in the channel
- The pulse only updates when at least one person has responded.
- Encourage your team to tap Yes, Maybe, or No when the DM arrives.
The timing seems off
- Use
/office time to see your current reminder time.
- Use
/office time 9am to change it. Available times: 8am, 9am, 4pm, 5pm, 6pm.
