Pokor for Slack
Planning poker for Slack
When refinement is already happening in Slack, the team should not pause to hunt for a room. Run /pokor, share the session in the channel, and start voting without another setup step.
Available on the Free plan
One connected workflow
From source item to shared estimate
Keep the source context attached from selection through the final decision.
Install the Pokor Slack app
One-click OAuth install adds Pokor to your workspace with the minimum scopes needed to post and update session messages.
Type /pokor
Use /pokor in any channel, optionally with a session name. Pokor replies privately with a "Join as Organizer" button (signed link, valid for 24 hours).
Invite the channel
Once the organizer joins, Pokor posts a public session message to the channel with a join button and a live participant count.
What becomes easier
Less coordination around every vote
The integration should remove coordination work without hiding what Pokor can access or where the final estimate goes.
Signed join links
The organizer link is cryptographically signed and expires after 24 hours — no stale session URLs floating around Slack.
Live participant updates
As teammates join, Pokor updates the Slack message with participant names and count, so everyone knows who is in before voting starts.
Free — no organizer seat needed
Slack integration ships on the Pokor free plan. Install once, run unlimited sessions with your team.
Before you connect
Questions about access and setup
What Slack permissions does Pokor request?
Only the scopes needed to post messages, update them as participants join, and recognize the /pokor slash command. Pokor never reads channel history or direct messages.
Can multiple channels run planning poker at the same time?
Yes. Each /pokor invocation creates an independent session. Run one per squad, per sprint, per project — whatever your structure.
Do my teammates need to install anything?
No. Only the workspace admin installs the Pokor Slack app once. After that, any member can type /pokor and Pokor handles the rest.
Does the Slack integration cost anything?
Slack usage is free. You only need the Organizer plan if you want paid features like backlog imports from Jira/Notion/GitHub/CSV, exports, or join approval.
What happens to old session messages?
If a session had activity, Pokor archives the Slack message once the session ends and preserves the results. If nothing happened, Pokor deletes the Slack message and the empty session the next day.
