This is a clever data collection wedge for the Airtable team. I've struggled to find an on-going use case that really makes the core Airtable product stick, but this may be the angle that does it. I'm a frequent Google Forms user, and increasingly Typeform as well, but those results live in a simple flat file for one time analysis -- joining survey results back to other Airtable records feels...

My team and I have spun up a number of these shared channels over the past couple of months. After using in the wild, I truly believe this is a key piece of the Slack experience that was missing. I wrote a few more thoughts about my views and how it works (for us), here: http://goo.gl/XnWpEu -- Hopefully Ernesto and Blanca from Slackline will jump into the comments later today!

how do you guys maintain the backend / update availability?

Totally agree, @rrhoover. This is something that needed to exist -- see a small, but hopefully v. engaged community building up around this. Have been in touch w/ a couple of folks over there, they've been smart in the early days -- iterating w/ each new filing they put up, laser-focused on delivering utility as soon after hitting the tool as possible, etc.
