Give the Slack bot your own name and avatar, so moderation notices come from someone on your team rather than from a tool.

Telling someone their message broke the rules is a delicate message to get right, and until now it arrived from "Moderation Bot". The wording was yours; the messenger was ours.

Today, the messenger can be yours too.

How it works

• A name and an avatar, per workspace. Set them under Slack → Bot identity. The bot's messages in channels, and its DMs to authors, carry them from the next flagged message on.

• Leave it empty for ours. No name means the bot posts as Moderation Bot, exactly as before.
