Add ExpressWithACard to Slack and every card link you paste turns into a preview people can sign from, with a reminder button that does the nagging for you.
Free to add and nobody needs an account to sign.
Sign Kev's leaving card
12 signatures so far, add yours before you forget!
Sending in 2 days
You set the card up in two minutes, paste the link in the channel and get on with your day. By the time it sends, eight people have signed and you have spent the week sending individual reminders to the other twenty. The card was never the hard part. The chasing was.
It is almost never that people don't care. It's these three, every time.
A busy channel moves on in minutes, and a bare link looks like every other link in the thread. Nobody scrolls back up to click something they cannot see.
Almost always whoever set it up. It is the part of organising a card that nobody volunteers for, and the part that stops people volunteering next time.
The card sends on the day whether the team remembered or not. A leaving card with six names on it says something nobody in the room actually meant.
The app does one job: it makes the card visible in the place your team already is, and it takes the reminding off your plate.
Paste a card or board link and Slack shows its name, its artwork and how many people have signed so far, with a Sign button beside it. Nobody has to guess what they are clicking.
Anyone in the channel can press Remind the team. It posts a fresh reminder showing the current signature count, so the chasing is a single press and it is not only yours to press.
Give the card a send date and the channel gets a reminder 48 hours before it goes, on a weekday morning. You stop having to remember, and you stop having to be the one who asks.
Press Add to Slack. If your workspace needs an admin to sign off on apps, Slack raises that request for you.
Any expresswithacard.com card or board link expands into a preview on its own, in public and private channels alike. Most cards are organised in a private channel so the recipient does not see it coming, add the app there as well, with /invite @ExpressWithACard, so it can post the reminders too.
Press Remind the team whenever you want a nudge, or leave it to remind the channel before the card sends. Either way, it is no longer a job on your list.
The short version: it is told when someone posts an expresswithacard.com link, it replaces that link with a preview, and it posts reminders in channels it has been invited to. It asks for three permissions and nothing else.
links:readlinks:writechat:writeSigning happens on the web, on the card itself, so the app never needs to know who anyone in your workspace is. Read the privacy policy for the full detail.
Anyone who has been volunteered to organise the card. Usually one of these four.

Before you install
Yes. Adding it to your workspace costs nothing and there is no subscription. You only ever pay for the cards themselves, from £2.00 as a one-off. See our pricing page for current rates.
Neither. Signing happens on the web, on the card itself, and anyone with the link can add a message, photo, video or GIF with nothing to install and no sign-up. Colleagues outside your workspace can sign the same card from the same link.
It depends on your workspace settings. Many workspaces let anyone add an app. Some require an admin to approve new apps, in which case pressing Add to Slack sends that request for you rather than failing.
You do not, for the preview — that works in any channel the moment the app is installed in your workspace, private channels included. Reminders are different: Slack only lets an app post in conversations it has been added to. Type /invite @ExpressWithACard in the channel once, or use the channel’s Integrations tab if your workspace restricts who can add apps.
At most once per channel every 24 hours, however the reminder was triggered, the manual button included. Automatic reminders only go to cards with a scheduled send date, 48 hours before they send, on weekday mornings. It is built not to become the bot everyone mutes.
Anyone in the channel, and that is deliberate. The whole point is that chasing stops being one person’s job, so restricting the button to whoever set the card up would defeat it. The 24-hour cooldown is what prevents it being overused.
Yes, both. A board link previews and reminds exactly the same way a card link does.
That is expected, Slack only expands links for apps that were already installed when the link was posted. Add the app, then paste the link again so Slack picks it up.
The preview does. Reminders do not, because Slack does not allow an app to post into a conversation it is not part of. Share cards in a channel if you want the reminders.
Your workspace’s ID and name, the token needed to post reminders, and which cards have been shared in which channels. No message content, no member list and no email addresses, we never ask for the permissions that would let us read any of it.
From your workspace’s app settings, at any time. Removing it revokes our access immediately and stops all reminders. Cards already created carry on working on the web exactly as before.
Add it once and every card link your team pastes from then on brings its own reminders.
