Thank you for hunting us @nishith_shah
Hi Product Hunt!, ๐๐ป Sunil here. Iโm the Co-founder of PLG Works and the Maker of Slackmin. We are very excited to share our journey and product with you.
๐บ๏ธ Last summer, we were working on Moxie, a two-sided marketplace for fitness professionals and enthusiasts which allowed people to book in-person and online fitness classes with their favourite instructors. This meant we had to deal with payments, refunds, frequent content updates, customer queries, solve order issues, and a host of other business operations. This either required us to build internal admin tools or integrate multiple other tools to manage all of this.
๐ก We decided to do neither! We were already using slack for system alerts and thought we could leverage slackโs infrastructure for doing much more. This could potentially save us a lot ๐ธ and also โฑ๏ธ, and it did!
๐ So here is Slackmin! Slack superpower to perform all your business ops. If you are juggling multiple admin tools that take resources away from your core product development? Slackmin will enable your entire team to easily perform robust admin functions all from within Slack!
๐๏ธ What exactly is Slackmin? - Itโs a NPM package which can be easily integrated into a node js app to handle slash commands, send alerts and design interactive components like modals and messages. So there is no need to write complex Slack block data structures!
Slackmin also provides built-in security functions which can be used as middlewares.
๐ฅ Using Slackmin's infrastructure to build on Slack you will save your ๐ฐmoney, โฑ๏ธ time, ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป development and ๐จ๐ฝโ๐จ design effort. You can use Slackmin for a host of things only limited by your imagination!
Here are some Use Cases:
๐ Analytics
- The executives want to know about the revenue stream that the company actively has in place
- The manager wants to look at the users who have opted for notifications
๐ง Customer Support
- The Customer Support Team received a complaint about a broken product. They want to check on the userโs order history and issues refunds to the original Payment Method accordingly
๐๏ธ Content Management
- The Support Team received a request from a seller to expand their business in more countries, and update payment information
๐๏ธ Alerts
- The CEO needs to know in real-time when customers converted from free trials to paid Saas memberships
Btw Slackmin is Open Source! And as a product hunt special we are helping teams understand and integrate Slackmin by giving 5 free (30 mins) consultation slots with our experts! Come let's build together.
We are here all day happy to answer any questions ๐
@sunilkhedar84 Slackmin is fantastic. Since we started using it, everything comes to Slack. It has made it so much easier to the information without asking the devs all the time about it. It helps me quickly to get some data points, instantly read my customer feedback, and rejoice when we get a paid customer! And all this on Slack!
This is great! We used Slackmin at my previous company Moxie and it enabled us to save thousands of dollars by consolidating all of our operational functions into a single tool we used every day: Slack.
Congrats PLG Works team! Highly recommended.

Go check it out!
Report
I didn't know you could do all this right out from Slack!
Seems super useful. We use slack for our internal notification and alerts and having the admin functionality added in slack would be so nice. This should save a lot of effort and development time. Would be wonderful to see it evolve and support different programming languages.
@aman_barbaria2 thanks Aman! Yes, you can use Slackmin for admin functionality, alerts, and many more business ops use-cases.
It's a great suggestion to develop across different programming languages. It will increase the reach of the product a lot ๐
By the way, it is an open-source solution. We will look forward to getting PRs for enhancements from the dev community.
Thanks a lot, @puneet_acharya. We want Slackmin to grow, hence why we chose to opt for open source.
Do let us know if you need any help with your implementation of Slackmin
@mituhin Thanks Paul! Yup, the aim was to re-use the Slack platform for solving business ops. In the beginning, we developed it for our use cases. Later on, we generalized it and launched it as a product in itself.

Also, Slackmin is open-source and we welcome the developer community from across the world to contribute to it for enhancements - https://github.com/PLG-Works/sla...
