#  How do I allow anonymous posting in Slack? 

 



The anonymous posting application called Abot is approved for use and can be installed by the teaching team: [Add apps to your Slack workspace | Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/202035138-Add-apps-to-your-Slack-workspace). Abot provides a week long trial period after which it must be paid for by the teaching team.

The Poll Everywhere application is free for use and provides a feature that can enable students to post anonymous questions in response to a post.

After installing the app, typing "/pollev" into the channel will bring up a multiple choice question or an open Q&A prompt, the latter of which you can set for anonymous responses.

It would look like this:

 ![PollEv open Q&A prompt set to anonymous posting in Slack.](/sites/g/files/omnuum3251/files/2025-02/slack_anon1.png)

 

The student would click "Respond" bringing up this dialogue screen:

 ![Dialogue box of response to poll in Slack](/sites/g/files/omnuum3251/files/2025-02/slack_anon2.png)

 

Then in Slack the anonymous responses would look like this:
