Post @sam 🧋🧋 great launch in your #boba channel. Each emoji is one boba, and everyone gets a fresh allowance each day.
Say thanks in the language your team already speaks.
Give bobas to teammates in Slack. Spend them on real ones.

@sam 🧋🧋 great launch today
🧋 3
BobaTabApp10:42 AM
Sam picked up 2 🧋 from Jordan. Sam's balance is now 14, and Jordan has 3 left to give today.
Two boba emoji, two bobas. That is the entire interface — no forms, no new tab, no training session.
How it works
Recognition that takes three seconds
Give, collect, redeem. Everyone starts with a daily allowance that resets each morning, so praise stays generous and cheap to give.
2
Collect
Run /stats to see what you have given, what you have received, and how much you have left to give today.
3
Redeem
Spend your balance in the bobashop. Gift card codes arrive by DM the moment you redeem.
Redeeming
Two clicks from balance to boba
No request form, no receipts, no waiting on finance. Pick a reward and the code is in your DMs before you close the tab.
1 Pick a reward
Gong Cha
$5 gift card
40 🧋RedeemAnything you cannot afford yet shows what you are short by.
2 The code arrives
BobaTabApp🧋 Here's your Gong Cha $5 code:
GC-4K9P-22XN
Sent by DM the instant you redeem. No admin has to be awake.
3 The team sees it
BobaTabApp#boba🧋 @sam just redeemed Gong Cha $5 for 40 bobas.
The channel gets the celebration. The code never leaves the DM.
Instant for gift cards
Admins load codes up front, so redeeming is automatic. Nobody has to approve anything or expense it later.
Approvals only when needed
Rewards someone hands over in real life go to an admin queue instead. Everything else skips the queue entirely.
Codes stay private
A code goes to one DM and nowhere else. If your DMs are closed it waits on your dashboard, never in the channel.
Leaderboards inside Slack
Weekly and monthly standings live on the app's Home tab, so nobody has to leave Slack to see where they stand.
One channel, nothing else
BobaTab only reads the channel you add it to. It cannot see your DMs or any other conversation.
Rewards you choose
Admins decide what the shop sells: prepaid gift cards, or perks somebody hands over in person.
FAQ
The questions admins ask first
What does BobaTab actually read?
Only the single channel you add it to. Messages containing a boba are stored with their text so each bit of recognition has a reason attached; everything else is processed and discarded. The full detail is in the privacy policy.
How much does it cost?
Free while it's in beta, and small teams stay free after that.
Who decides the rewards?
Your workspace admins. They stock the shop and approve redemptions from the dashboard, and gift card codes go out by DM automatically.
How long does setup take?
About a minute. Install it, pick the channel it should watch, and start giving. Balances survive an uninstall, so you can reinstall later without losing anyone's history.
