What your team wouldn't say in Slack,
they'll say now.

Your employees send anonymous questions and choose where they go — straight to HR, or to a public channel where an expert can answer. Either way, no one knows who asked.

Anonymity in HushAsk is cryptographic — not a policy promise.

How it works
Two tracks for employee questions.

Every question starts the same way: your employee asks anonymously, then chooses the destination — HR for sensitive issues, or a public channel where your team can weigh in. If you want to share the answer with the whole team, it gets saved to Notion. The asker stays anonymous.

Confidential Track

Sensitive issue? Goes straight to HR.

Your employees message HushAsk directly or use /ha from any channel. HushAsk hashes their identity and presents two routing options — Confidential or Open. Employees choose where it goes. Their name never appears. They can edit or retract their message any time before you reply.

Members of a private #hush-hr channel see only the message — never who sent it. Responding is a single click in the app. The employee receives 'Response from HR' — no names attached. All Slack IDs are SHA-256 hashed before anything is sent or stored. No identity exposed — for the employee who asked, or the admin who answered.
Open Track

General question? Becomes permanent company knowledge.

When a public thread wraps up, it can be saved to Notion with a summary title. The Q&A becomes a searchable entry in your knowledge base — ready to surface the next time someone asks the same question.

Click “Archive This Thread”, set a summary title, and the Q&A lands in your Notion Hush Library. Saved threads become permanent company assets. Your knowledge base builds itself, one question at a time.

Built for the workplace
Built for the workplace. Trusted where it counts.

Clean enough for your IT department. Trusted enough for your most sensitive questions.

🔒

True Anonymity

Sender identity is SHA-256 hashed before anything is sent or stored — not even admins can trace a message back to its author. What's hushed, stays hushed.

💬

Zero Friction

Your employees message HushAsk directly or use /ha from any channel. No new apps, no onboarding flows. Slack is already open — which means HushAsk is too.

🎯

Employee-Controlled Routing

Your employees choose where each question goes — HR for sensitive issues, or a public channel for general ones. Nothing is routed without their input.

📄

Notion Sync

When a public thread wraps up, it can be saved to Notion with a custom summary title. Do it consistently and your Q&A archive grows automatically.

🛡️

Admin Controls

Channel configuration, Notion connection, and routing settings are all managed from the App Home — visible only to admins. No dashboards. No engagement scores. No feature you didn't ask for.

🏢

Slack-Native

Installs like any Slack app. Uses Slack's existing permission model for access control. Works in public channels, private channels, and messages to the app.

How anonymity works under the hood.

Anonymity in HushAsk is cryptographic — not a policy promise.

🪪

Your identity is never stored

Your Slack user ID is passed through SHA-256 with a private per-deployment salt before anything touches the database. The original ID is discarded immediately. It cannot be recovered.

📡

Routing data is purged after reply

Routing data used to deliver admin replies is minimized and not linked to your identity in our database. No lingering link between message and sender.

Note: Slack's audit log (available on Enterprise Grid plans) contains messaging metadata separately from HushAsk. Full details in our privacy policy.

📋

No content in application logs

Message bodies are stored only in the database for delivery and optional Notion sync. They are never written to server-side log files or monitoring systems.
