Nice job @tuckerckline and team. For my use case I have a membership approval process and then manually give members access to the Slack channel. I don't want just anyone to get in to this particular group so it would be great if there could be an admin queue to approve / decline auto-registrations ;D I would pay for that. I'm going to send this out to several different group admins for public slack groups I'm in.

@helloduane Thank's Duane! An approval queue has been one of our most requested features in the past couple of weeks. We started work on our approval system last week and it's definitely coming in a not-too-distant future release. We'd love to talk with you and make sure that what we're building will fit your needs.

@helloduane @founderacademy awesome, I'll reach out later this week. Really excited to get your thoughts!
Alec Reynolds
We've been using SlackPass for the last few months for running a paid support channel; so glad I found it before starting on our own implementation. Shout out to @sethlesky for his help!
Seth Lesky
@reynoldsalec Thanks Alec It's been a pleasure helping your group, and big thanks for the early feedback!
Sven Ernst
Slack seems like a great alternative to Facebook pages for more serious communities. A paywall should help keep out trolls as well. Slick product with many exciting use cases.
Tucker Kline
@sven_e This is exactly the thought that led us to creating SlackPass. One of our early mottos was 'Keep the Trolls Out'! Thanks for the kind words Sven :)
Paul Boag
Good to see Slackpass on Product Hunt. Until recently I was manually approving every application to my slack community. It almost put me off of promoting it to much because I had to process all the applications. Fortunately Slackpass has done away with that. Now I just point people at the Slackpass page and sit back. :)
erobinson
@boagworld Thanks, Paul! We're really glad that SlackPass has worked so well for you!
Kevin Leneway
Fantastic idea, really well executed. I like the freemium model of charging only for paid invites. Do you have any examples of a person or business who has a really successful paid Slack community?
erobinson
@kleneway Thanks for the kind words, Kevin! There are a lot of examples of successful paid Slack communities we've seen on SlackPass. A few specific examples: Brian Swichkow runs a successful paid group where he teaches people how to grow their online followings (https://slackpass.io/ghostinflue...). Kalabox combined a free group with paid premium support for their customers (https://slackpass.io/kalabox/sup...) Paul Armstrong helps executives stay in tune with the tech news and the social media landscape with his paid group SocialLens (https://slackpass.io/hereforth/s...) LaToya Allen at SheNomads also combined a free group with paid private channels where she would teach women the basics of Ruby. (https://slackpass.io/shenomads). Her group grew so quickly that she was able to move to a sponsorship model.

@erobinson thanks so much for the response, you just gave me a few ideas of how we could use this at Haiku Deck. Congrats again on the launch!
Tucker Kline
@kleneway Hey Kevin if you're interested in setting up a call in the near future to talk about getting you set up and ways to use it feel free to shoot me an email at tucker@slackpass.com and we can get the ball rolling!
Jeff Eisley
OMG YES! I have been dreaming about this!
Tucker Kline
@jeffeisley Happy to hear it Jeff! Let us know if you have any questions!
James Chmielinski
I was trying to hack together a solution for http://recruitinginnovators.org until Slackpass came along and solved all my problems. I love this product, get it! @SlackPass @VerucaHQ #Slack
Tucker Kline
@techstardust James! Great to have you drop by here, as one of our very earliest adopters you've provided super valuable experience and feedback for us. Thanks for using SlackPass, and thanks for the kind words!!
Jakub Kostecki
Great UX guys. Very happy to see you delivered something really valuable to the startup community.
Seth Lesky
@kubakostecki Thank so much Jakub! Looking forward to reconnecting 👍
Mo Ahmed
This platform is amazing. I got in during the beta and while it's been a journey for us, the integration and ease of use is what sets them apart from other products. Congrats Erich, Seth and Tucker. Wish you all the best and hope this platform continues to grow.
Tucker Kline
Wow! Thanks a bunch for your kind words @themohaahmed can't tell you how grateful we've been for our early adopters for all the feedback (and patience) they've given us. Excited to move forward together!
Hunter Becton
This is literally the best thing ever. It's weird how I have an issue finding an app for something and the next day it's on Product Hunt! I'm building a community on Slack and can't wait to put this to use!
erobinson
@hunterbecton Haha, glad that the timing was so perfect! As your building your community, just let us know if there's anything we can do to help!
Tobi Hikari
Looks great! Can you use also custom domains?
erobinson
@toomaime our embeddable widget can be placed on any site. For people who want to use their own domain, that's the best option at the moment. The generated invite pages can't currently be hosted on custom domains but that is on our roadmap future feature.
Adam J Gomez
SlackPass is really great.
erobinson
@adamjgomez Thanks Adam!
Paul Allen
Very useful and well-designed. Use it for our community of 1000+ members. Highly recommend!
Tucker Kline
@iampaulallen hey Paul thanks a bunch for stopping by! Happy things are working out so far, excited to continue moving forward!!
Ghost Influence
Having used a custom built solution for the last year, I was eager to not be the one dealing with the onslaught of associated issues. We converted to SlackPass just over a month ago and have seen a 200% increase in conversions (largely a result of their "free trial" functionality which get's people addicted fast). Looking forward to the development of their product roadmap, keep crushing it dudes!
Seth Lesky
@ghostinfluence Thanks Ghost! You have a truly epic community and are thrilled to help such a engaging and unique space online. There's lots that other Slack communities can learn from your approach!
.hj barraza
I've been using it since early beta, and I can say the customer service has been flawless. It was just the solution I needed to keep a high quality community without the hassle of tech complications.
Tucker Kline
@hjbarraza was one of our very early users and has been an invaluable resource- really happy to have you on board, excited to keep working together in the future!!
Gabe Grimley
I set up SlackPass for a community that didn't actually come to fruition, but the process was as simple as can be. If I get to a place to try again, this is the only solution I'll go to.
erobinson
@gmgrimley Thanks for the kind words, Gabe. We hope to see you back in the system again soon =)
Juho Vepsäläinen
I think SlackPass solves a concrete problem that Slack fails to address. It's still early days with SlackPass for me, but I can see the promise. Best of luck guys!
Tucker Kline
@bebraw We're *super* excited to watch your SurviveJS community grow, Juho! We've been big fans of the educational tools you provide since we started learning React and would recommend your material to anyone looking to learn similar skills!
gregnbaker
SlackPass is super useful and easy to use...really recommend it for building a community!
erobinson
@gregnbaker Thanks for the kind words, Greg!
Vasily Kuznetsov
Hey guys, I am so glad that you were featured on PH exactly today! You appeared right at the time when I was starting a new community and was searching for an app like that. Very convenient and easy to use so far! Thank you!
Tucker Kline
@vasily_kuznetsov so glad that we were able to get that page set up for you! You're very welcome and thank *you*!! Let me know if I can help in any way :)
Ed Troxell Creative
SlackPass blew me away! I'm known as the guy that makes business and technology Stupid Easy® so when I came across SlackPass my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe how easy it was to create a subscription plan. SlackPass allows anyone to set up a subscription plan literally in minutes. It's so easy and such a clean interface making it visually pleasing for everyone. Great product here!
Seth Lesky
@ed_troxell Thanks so much Ed! 😀 Your support means a lot! 🚀
