Description
Anyone who's used Slack knows the feeling: you ask a teammate a question, it scrolls off screen, and it never gets answered. Follow Up Bot fixes that by quietly watching for questions and nudging people if they haven't replied in time — so nothing important falls through the cracks.
Follow Up Bot automatically tracks questions directed at colleagues in Slack and sends polite reminder prompts if those questions remain unanswered after a user-specified timeframe. Users can send reminders directly from notifications, and the bot can monitor entire channels for unreplied messages. It's built around an automated detection system and explicitly does not store message contents, which matters for teams with data-handling concerns — particularly useful in customer support and ticketing channels where a missed question means a missed SLA.
💬 Our review
The short version: a narrow, well-priced utility that does one thing — chase unanswered Slack questions — better than Slack's own native reminder feature, and cheap enough that the ROI case is easy for any team that's ever missed a client question in a busy channel.
At under $10/month, Follow Up Bot is priced more like a lightweight utility than a platform, which fits what it actually is: a single-purpose bot rather than a full helpdesk or project-management suite. It doesn't try to compete with Missive or a proper ticketing system — it just solves the specific 'this question got buried' problem inside Slack, and does so without storing message content, a real privacy plus over bots that ingest full conversation history. The catch is scope: if you need broader helpdesk features (assignment, SLAs, reporting across channels), this isn't that tool, and you'd end up running it alongside something heavier. Best fit: teams that live in Slack and lose track of client/colleague questions in busy channels; skip it if you need a full support-ticketing workflow, not just reminders.

Pros
Prix très bas (moins de 10 $/mois) pour un problème précis et douloureux dans Slack
Ne stocke pas le contenu des messages — un vrai plus côté confidentialité
Simple à activer, aucune reconfiguration de workflow nécessaire
Cons
Portée volontairement étroite — pas un helpdesk complet (pas d'assignation, de SLA, de reporting)
Dépend entièrement de Slack ; inutile si l'équipe communique ailleurs
Pour un vrai workflow de support, il faudra le combiner à un outil plus lourd
