How to give and receive kudos

Kudos are public shout-outs you send through Dailybot so teammates see recognition in chat and in the web app.

Give kudos in Slack

1. Open the channel or DM where you want the kudos to post.
2. Run /kudos @Person Your message here (replace @Person and the message).
3. Alternatively, open the Dailybot app shortcut or slash-command menu and choose the kudos action, then pick the recipient and enter your message.
4. Submit so Dailybot posts the kudos in that context.

Give kudos in Discord

1. Go to the server and channel where kudos should appear.
2. Run /kudos (or your server’s configured Dailybot kudos command if the name differs).
3. Follow the prompts to select the user and enter your message.
4. Send so the kudos posts to the channel.

If kudos fail in Discord, see the related troubleshooting article linked at the end of this page.

Give kudos in Google Chat

1. Open the space or DM where the kudos should post.
2. Mention Dailybot and use the kudos pattern your workspace uses, for example @Dailybot kudos @Person Your message here (exact wording may match your admin setup).
3. Send the message so Dailybot records and displays the kudos.

Give kudos in Microsoft Teams

1. Open the channel or chat where you want the kudos visible.
2. Use the Dailybot kudos command or message extension your org enabled — similar to Slack: select Dailybot, choose kudos, pick the person, add your message.
3. Submit so the kudos posts there.

Give kudos in the web dashboard

1. Sign in to Dailybot in the browser.
2. Open Kudos in the main navigation or dashboard.
3. Choose Give kudos (or equivalent).
4. Select the recipient, enter your message, and confirm.

Org-wide rules (who can give kudos, visibility, images) may be set by an admin; see org kudos settings if something is blocked.

What recipients see

Recipients get a clear notification that they received kudos: in chat, that usually means a message or card in the channel or thread you used, plus any standard platform notifications. In the web app, they see the kudos in their Kudos activity and on leaderboards if your org uses them.

Where kudos appear

• In chat: The channel or conversation where you sent the kudos is the primary place others see it.
• On the dashboard: Kudos show in Kudos-related views and can surface on Home when your org feeds that activity there.
• On the leaderboard: If your organization enabled a kudos leaderboard, totals and rankings update as people give and receive kudos.

Giving kudos regularly keeps recognition visible without leaving the tools you already use — one flow in Slack, Discord, Google Chat, Teams, or the web app.
