Why don't eggs tell jokes?

Because they might crack up.

An illustration of the post and the private punchline, set with a joke from the archive.

What it does

  • Daily jokes in your channel

    Pick a channel, a time and the days. One joke arrives, with an introduction nobody asked for.

  • Random jokes on demand

    Type /dadjoke for a joke only you can see. Add a topic, such as /dadjoke food.

  • Punchline reveals

    The setup is public. The punchline is shown privately to whoever clicks, so nobody else is spoiled.

  • Joke sharing

    Share a joke into any conversation you choose. Nothing is posted until you confirm.

  • Groan ratings

    Rate a joke from Barely a groan to Peak dad joke. Scores are real averages, never invented.

Installation

  1. Step 01

    Add dadabase. to Slack.

    Approve a short list of permissions. Nothing is posted yet.

  2. Step 02

    Choose a channel and schedule.

    Open the app's Home tab. We suggest 9:00 AM, Monday to Friday, in your timezone.

  3. Step 03

    Disappoint your coworkers daily.

    Confirm, and the first joke arrives at the next scheduled time.

You need to be allowed to add apps to your Slack workspace. If you are not, Slack will offer to send the request to an admin.

The fine print, in plain language

  • It is free.

    No plans, no trials, no premium features, no ads in your messages.

  • No payment details.

    We never ask for a card, because there is nothing to buy.

  • Admins stay in charge.

    Only workspace admins and owners, and whoever installed the app, can schedule posts. Nothing posts automatically until one of them confirms.

  • Minimal permissions.

    It can post messages, run /dadjoke, and look up whether someone is an admin. It cannot read your conversations or message history.

  • Easy to switch off.

    Pause or delete any schedule from the Home tab, or remove the app from Slack. Removing it deletes what we stored.

What we store

Only what the app needs to work. We never store your conversations, and we do not read them.

  • Your workspace id and name, and the id of the person who installed the app.
  • The app's access token, encrypted.
  • Each schedule you create: channel, time, timezone, days and categories.
  • A log of which joke was sent where and whether it succeeded, kept for 90 days.
  • Groan ratings, stored without Slack user ids.
  • Anonymous counters, such as how many punchlines were revealed. These contain no workspace or person identifiers.
