Creating Anonymous Forms

Capture form submissions anonymously

Forms are a powerful feature designed to simplify capturing user-inputted data, all from Slack. By leveraging Forms, you can capture feedback, signups, internal surveys, and so much more, all without ever opening a new tab, or tool.

In some scenarios, you may want to send a form to your users or channels and allow the responses to be anonymous and confidential.

1

Navigate to the Threadly app

In Slack, open the Threadly app and open the Forms section of the app.

2

From the form options dropdown at the top of the screen, click "Form Settings"

3

Click "Edit" next to "Anonymous Submissions"

4

Click Yes, then hit Save

When anonymous submissions are enabled, Threadly protects user privacy by replacing their name with an anonymous ID. This randomized ID prevents anyone from identifying the user. This includes owners, workspace admins, Slack administrators, and the Threadly team.

When anonymous submissions are enabled, the following settings are also unavailable for the form:

• Limit submissions per user

• Limit to specific users

• Save responses to user profile
