Alias Bot

Replace repeated @mentions in Slack with channel aliases

Teams often end up typing long @Alice @Bob @Charlie mentions cluttering the channel. Sometimes, some people get missed or the wrong person gets tagged. This gets worse with rotating or short-lived teams (on-call, releases, incidents). Alias Bot lets you define channel-scoped aliases (e.g. !reviewers, !oncall) so mentions expand to the right people for that channel, without needing to manage org-wide user groups.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 We built Alias Bot because we kept seeing the same thing in Slack: - Long @mention chains cluttering channels - Someone always getting missed (or tagged by mistake) - Temporary teams (on-call, releases, incidents) not fitting cleanly into Slack user groups Alias Bot lets you create channel-specific mention aliases in seconds: !reviewers: @alice @bob @charlie After that, anyone in the channel can just type !reviewers and the right people get mentioned, scoped to that channel. No org-wide groups. No admin setup. Works great for rotating or short-lived teams. We’re launching today to get early feedback. Would love to hear: - Where do @mention chains get painful for you? - What would make this more useful in your Slack setup? Happy to answer questions or jump into specifics 🙌 — Sanket

Slack threads get messy fast with repeated @mentions, especially for rotating teams. Channel-scoped aliases like !on call or !reviewers feel like a simple but huge time-saver and way less error phone.

does it work between different workspaces? I need it desperately 🙌

@kate_ramakaieva Aliases are channel-specific. So you can set up !reviewers as an alias in multiple channels and they can refer to different people.

Could you elaborate what you mean by working between different workspaces? Thanks!

@sanketnadhani I’m a member of 18 Slack workspaces, so I need constantly switch between them to check mentions

@kate_ramakaieva You will have to install them individually in every workspace you need. Aliases are channel-specific.

This solves a real pain point. Can you set an alias to dynamically update as team membership changes, or is it static once created?
