The Anonymizer App ensures confidentiality in your organization by enabling users to forward messages to rooms in your workspace anonymously. This tool maintains sender anonymity, fostering a secure environment for open expression, feedback, suggestions, and discussions without fear of reprisal.
To install the Anonymizer App,
- Go to Administration > Apps > Marketplace.
- Search for the Anonymizer app.
- Click Install and agree to the needed permissions.
To configure the Anonymizer App after installing it,
- On the Anonymizer App Info screen, navigate to Settings.
- Update the required fields:
- Members Room Name: The Anonymizer app is only enabled for members of this room. Messages from users who aren't members of this room are ignored. This field is case-sensitive.
- Room Name: The room where the anonymous messages are posted. This field is case-sensitive.
- Bot username: The username of the bot that forwards the message. Users send a DM to this bot in your workspace, which anonymously forwards the message to the configured room. The app uses rocket.cat by defaul_t_.
- Bot Alias: The display name of the bot. It's displayed as the sender with the forwarded message.
- Bot Avatar (emoji): The emoji that represents the bot's avatar.
{% hint style="warning" %} If you create a custom bot, ensure that it's a member of the room where the anonymous messages are posted. {% endhint %}
Now that you've successfully set up the Anonymizer app, the next section guides you on how to use the app in your workspace.
