If you have Slack notifications enabled for receiving feedback requests, you can respond to a feedback request without leaving Slack.

1. Open the 15Five app in your Slack account— it's located in the "Apps" section of the lefthand bar.
   
2. Open the 'Messages' tab of the 15Five app, then find the feedback request you would like to respond to.
3. Click on Send feedback below the request to open the feedback form.
4. A pop-up window will appear asking you to provide feedback to your teammate about the topic noted in the request. If you're looking for inspiration, consider these tips:
   • Separate positive and constructive feedback. Surrounding constructive feedback with positive feedback may feel better for the giver, but is confusing for the receiver.
   • Use this one sentence to make feedback 40% more effective: “I am giving you these comments because I have very high expectations and I know you can reach them.
   • For feedback to be effective, keep it about the work— not the person. First, describe the situation, then name your feeling (“I feel...”), then make your request (“I need...”).
5. Once you've written your feedback and are ready to share it with the requestor, click the Send feedback button.

You can give a High Five while you are in Slack— without ever leaving your flow of work!

1. From within any Slack channel, type the command /highfive.
2. @mention the person or group you want to give a high five to (e.g. @sophiafresch), followed by the content of your High Five. Please note that this person must have a Slack account under the same email address that they use for 15Five for the high five to post to 15Five.
3. Once you submit the high five, the recipient(s) will be notified and the high five will be posted on the High Fives Dashboard (in-app link).

1. Open the 15Five app in your Slack account— it's located in the "Apps" section of the lefthand bar.
   
2. Open the 'Messages' tab and find the high five you want to interact with.
   
3. Use the Comment or Like button to interact with the high five.

6. Once you're done, click Save at the bottom of the page.
7. All notifications you opted to receive through Slack will appear in the 'Messages' tab of the 15Five app in Slack.
