Send gifts from Slack
Gratos has a Slack app for sending real gifts: type /gratos to ask for a gift or start a campaign. Each gift waits for an approval of the exact total, which you give with a button in Slack.
Updated
Is there a Slack app for sending gifts?
Yes. Once Gratos is added to your Slack workspace, your team can:
- Talk to Gratos with the
/gratoscommand, in a direct message, or by mentioning @Gratos in a channel. The app also has a Home tab. - Send a gift to one person with the send form. Gratos finds a real gift from a real store.
- Start a campaign with the campaign form, for a group of people. Gratos suggests a gift for each person, and you review the list. Each gift then waits for its own approval of the exact total.
- Approve or cancel each gift with a button.
Gratos places each order on the store's own website after the approval, and the store ships it to the person.
Can managers approve gifts in Slack?
Yes. A member approves gifts within their own limit. Above it, the approval goes to an owner or admin of the Gratos workspace, who can approve or cancel it.
Each approval is for the exact total: the store's price, tax and shipping. Your approval takes effect when you finish the card payment step, which may open in your browser. If the store's total at checkout differs by more than 3 cents, Gratos stops before paying and nothing is charged (How Gratos buys). Every approval is recorded with who approved, the amount and the time.
How is this different from other Slack gifting apps?
With Gratos, the ask, the campaign and the approval all start in Slack, and the approval is for the exact total of a real gift.
Here is what other companies' pages said when we read them on October 29, 2026:
- Snappy's Slack app sends gift notices to recipients in Slack, on its Elevated plan and above (Snappy for Slack, Snappy pricing).
- Sendoso's Slack app sends eGifts with a
/Sendosocommand; its help article describes no approval step (Sendoso help). - Goody connects to Slack through Zapier (Goody pricing).
How do we add Gratos to Slack?
Gratos is available by invitation while we add merchants city by city. Design partners get a Gratos workspace set up with us, then connect Slack from the workspace settings in Gratos.
Teams use the same workspace on the web, so the workspace, its members and its budgets are the same in both places. See Gratos for teams.
