Planning poker for Slack
Type /pokor in any Slack channel to spin up an estimation session. Pokor posts a join message, you claim the organizer role, and your team votes together — no sign-up, no extra tabs to juggle.
How it works
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 you get
/pokor slash command
Starts a fresh planning poker session in seconds. Pass a session name inline or let Pokor generate one automatically.
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.
Frequently asked questions
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.
Yes. Each /pokor invocation creates an independent session. Run one per squad, per sprint, per project — whatever your structure.
No. Only the workspace admin installs the Pokor Slack app once. After that, any member can type /pokor and Pokor handles the rest.
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.
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.
