You can't tell who acted on your Slack announcements
Reactions aren't results.
You send the update and wait. A couple of emoji show up. Whether the account you care about clicked the link or answered the survey is anyone's guess.
What it looks like
- Leadership asks whether the pricing change reached customers, and the honest answer is "I think so."
- A QBR invite goes out to dozens of channels and you can't tell who booked.
- You can't tell which channels are engaged and which have gone quiet.
What it costs you
No proof it landed
You can't show that an important message reached the people it was for.
Follow-ups to everyone
Without a list of who acted, you chase everyone, including people who already did.
Nothing to learn from
You can't tell which messages work, so each one is written from scratch.
What people try first
Why the usual workarounds fall short
Counting emoji reactions
Reactions are optional and say nothing about who clicked or answered.
Asking "did everyone see this?"
Adds noise to the channel and still leaves you without a list.
Tracked links in a spreadsheet
Counts clicks at best, by hand, and not by person or channel.
Checking each channel yourself
Doesn't scale past a handful of channels.
The fix
A report for every message
Every message Threadly sends is tracked, so what happened is on the page instead of a guess.
Use actions you can measure
Link buttons track clicks per person, and forms and polls capture answers inside Slack.
Open the broadcast report
See delivery status for every destination, link clicks, reactions, thread replies and form responses, with answers charted by option.
Know who to follow up with
Engagement by channel and by person, the most engaged channels and when activity peaked show where to follow up. Weekly message reports arrive in Slack.

Frequently asked questions
Can I see who clicked a link in a Slack message?
Yes. Link buttons in Threadly messages track clicks per person, and each broadcast's report shows engagement by channel and by person.
Does Threadly show who read a message?
Slack doesn't give apps a per-person read receipt for a message, so Threadly measures actions instead: delivery status, link clicks, reactions, thread replies and form responses.
Can I measure the results of a survey in Slack?
Yes. Forms open inside Slack, and the form answers for a broadcast are charted by option in its report.
Is there a regular report I can share?
Threadly posts weekly message reports in Slack, and every broadcast has its own report in the web app.
