App Directory Spotlight — Delighted, Simple Poll & Quip

We’re going to take you through a day in the life of a Slack customer who’s connected three apps to her team — Delighted, Simple Poll, and Quip — right from our App Directory. You’ll see how to easily gather customer feedback, quickly start a poll with teammates in Slack, and preivew collaborative documents for upcoming projects. Last week your head of marketing read a few articles (perhaps this one) talking about how valuable the Net Promoter Score (NPS) is to long-term company growth. He messages you in Slack, asking you to kick off a survey with your customers to better understand how likely they are to recommend using your product, and identify areas for improvement. You turn to Delighted to get this going. Within a few days you’ve received your results and you can’t wait to share them with your team! After carefully analyzing the responses, you realize that the feedback from customers affects multiple teams within the company — from product, to engineering, to sales, and marketing — and you’d like to share that input with them all.
