Cohorts

Cohorts group people who start around the same time, such as an onboarding intake, a training class, or a bootcamp, so they go through the same program together. Build one cohort program and Doozy creates each cohort, adds the right people, opens a Slack channel if you want one, and runs your tracks on schedule.

How cohorts form

Choose how people are added when you create the program.

  • By start date: set a cadence of daily, weekly, every two weeks, or every four weeks. Doozy creates cohorts on that schedule and adds the people whose start date falls in each one's range
  • Add manually: create each cohort yourself, set its dates, and pick its members

Start dates come from your connected HRIS, or from Slack join dates when there's no HRIS.

A Slack channel per cohort

Each cohort gets a fresh channel, created from a name template based on the program name, with a live preview as you edit it. Link one channel that every cohort shares instead, or run a program with no channel at all. Facilitators on the program's access list are added to each cohort's channel to help run the cohort.

Cohort tracks and per-person tracks

A program runs two kinds of tracks:

  • A cohort track runs once for the whole group, such as a kickoff post in the channel or a group quiz
  • A per-person track runs for each person, timed from the cohort's start in their own timezone

Managing a cohort

  • Add, exclude, restore, or move people between cohorts in the same program
  • Change a cohort's intake dates, split one in two, or remove a week from the schedule
  • Late starters join a cohort that's already running and catch up; if theirs has finished, they fall forward to the next one
  • Pause a program to stop new cohorts forming, without interrupting cohorts already under way
  • Give each person viewer, editor, or admin access per program

Cohorts is rolling out gradually. Contact support@doozy.live to turn it on for your workspace.

Preboarding and Email Steps

Preboarding

Onboarding can start before a new hire has a work account or Slack access. A hire with a future start date syncs from your HRIS as a preboarder, and the messages you schedule before day one go to their personal email.

There's no separate trigger to set up. A preboarding track is an ordinary first-day track with steps scheduled before the first day, so everything from day one onward runs in Slack as usual.

On their first day, once a work email comes through, Doozy makes them a regular member and the rest of the track picks up in Slack. Preboarders can sit in cohorts too, joining the cohort channel on day one.

  • Preboarders show up in your workspace members list with a Preboarder badge
  • Preboarders with no personal email on file are flagged so their steps don't sit waiting

Preboarding needs a connected HRIS and email delivery. Both are switched on per account: email hello@doozy.live to get set up.

See preboarding on the onboarding page, or read the preboarding docs.

Email steps

Email is a step type in the track builder, next to Slack message. Message steps can be sent by email to anyone, in any track, not only before day one.

  • Cc or bcc a hire's manager, mentor, a specific member, or a fixed address
  • Set the subject, reply-to address, and sender name on each email step
  • Images in a message step render inline in the email

Quizzes, surveys, polls, tasks, introductions, and mentor assignments stay in Slack.

Email delivery is switched on per account, the same as preboarding: email hello@doozy.live to get set up.

Quiz Scoring, Leaderboards, and Multiple Answers

Multiple correct answers

A quiz question can have more than one correct answer. Mark any number of options as correct, and a response counts only when it matches the full set.

Each question can also carry separate explanations for right and wrong answers, so people see why their answer landed where it did.

Scores out of 1000

Every quiz on a leaderboard is scored out of 1000, so results stay comparable across quizzes of different lengths. A flawless run is exactly 1000.

Questions can carry a point multiplier of 1x, 2x, or 3x, giving the ones that matter most a larger share of the score.

Learn more about quiz scoring.

Leaderboards

  • Choose a full leaderboard, or Own rank to show each person only their own position
  • Set a late penalty to deduct points from answers submitted after the due date
  • Control the speed bonus window that rewards fast answers
  • Redesigned leaderboard layout across Slack and the web

Challenges (beta)

Group several quizzes into a challenge to share one leaderboard across the set. Points add up across every quiz, a quiz assigned through multiple channels is answered once and appears once in a person's to-dos, and admins can award or adjust points or remove someone from the board.

Challenges are in beta and rolling out gradually. To request access, email hello@doozy.live.

Learn more about challenges.

A New Way to Build in Doozy

Building in Doozy moves to the web. Quizzes, surveys, polls, icebreakers, introductions, celebrations, and tracks are now created in a full visual editor, with an AI agent that drafts and edits alongside you. Slack stays where your team receives and completes everything.

The visual editor

Build each activity on one canvas instead of stringing it together through Slack.

  • Drag to reorder steps, rounds, and questions
  • Edit titles, copy, and options inline
  • Validation highlights what needs attention; buttons stay enabled so you're never stuck
  • Switch between the editor and the AI chat on any screen size

AI authoring agent

Describe what you want and the agent drafts a complete activity or track. Refine it by chatting.

  • Generate from a prompt, such as "Build a three-week onboarding track" or "Create a quiz on our company values"
  • Rewrite copy, add or remove steps and questions, and adjust difficulty through conversation
  • Context carries across the session, so earlier instructions and sources stay in play as you refine

Build from files and web pages

Give the agent source material and it builds from your own content.

  • Upload a PDF, text, Markdown, or CSV file (up to 20MB)
  • Paste a public URL to pull content from a page
  • Works for quizzes, surveys, icebreakers, and tracks, including onboarding decks, compliance docs, and role overviews

Onboarding and learning journeys

Multi-step tracks are where the visual editor does the most work. Lay out a sequence that runs over days or weeks and see the whole flow on one canvas, instead of assembling it step by step in Slack.

  • Drag messages, delays, surveys, quizzes, introductions, mentors, and cohorts into order
  • Edit each step inline, with its timing and destination shown on the step
  • Describe the journey you want and the AI agent drafts the full sequence, then refines it by chatting

Use Files and Web Pages for Quiz & Icebreaker Generation

Generate from Files

Upload a file when creating a quiz or icebreaker and Doozy will use it as source material. Works well for onboarding decks, compliance training PDFs, coaching playbooks, and facilitator guides.

Generate from URLs

Paste a public URL and Doozy will pull content from the page. Useful for product docs, compliance articles, and role overview pages.

Shoutout Values, Auto-Scheduling & Extended Celebrations

Company Values for Shoutouts

Admins can define up to 15 company values in Celebrations > Shoutout Settings. When sending a shoutout via the Slack shortcut or slash command, a multi-select dropdown lets users tag one or more values. Posted shoutouts display selected values as ✨ Teamwork · Innovation · Customer Focus, and values are included in CSV exports.

Auto-Schedule Introduction Meetings

Introduction activities have a new "Auto-schedule meeting" toggle. When enabled with a connected calendar, Doozy automatically finds a free slot and books a meeting for both participants. Configure the scheduling window (same day, next 2–5 days) and meeting duration in the activity setup.

Extended Celebrations View

The Slack App Home shows upcoming birthdays and work anniversaries for the next 2 weeks. Inside Celebrations, a new Upcoming Celebrations section lists all celebrations for the next 90 days — useful for teams with bi-weekly or monthly meetings who need to plan announcements ahead. Admins can also control whether users are allowed to edit their own birthday and anniversary dates — when disabled, users can still opt in or out of celebrations but cannot change the date.

Track Progress in the Dashboard

Tracks have dedicated pages in the Doozy dashboard with a list view, detail view showing steps and enrollees, and individual enrollee pages with a step-by-step progress stepper. Track steps now distinguish between "delivered" (content sent) and "completed" (user finished the action).

Configurable Work Week for Time-Off Announcements

Time-off announcements respect custom work week schedules. Configure which days count as work days — useful for teams working Tuesday–Saturday or other non-standard schedules.

Survey Admin Editing After Send

Survey admins can be updated after a survey has been sent or completed.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed quizzes without questions appearing in dashboards, sub-activity selectors, and Slack to-dos
  • Fixed quiz feedback forms appearing under Polls & Surveys instead of Quizzes
  • Fixed shoutout data export failing
  • Fixed duplicate anniversary celebrations being scheduled
  • Fixed team switching on activity pages causing an error
  • Fixed scrolling and alignment issues across the web app
  • Fixed delay step showing duplicate icons and incorrect titles in track CSV exports
  • Fixed various UI label and navigation issues across quizzes, introductions, and settings

API Track Enrollment & Better GIFs

Two headline updates: automate Track enrollment via the API and enjoy a better GIF experience across Doozy.

Enroll Users onto Tracks via API

You can now programmatically enroll users onto Tracks using the Doozy Public API. This opens up powerful automation possibilities—trigger enrollment from external systems or build custom enrollment workflows.

The new endpoint accepts a user identifier and Track ID, handling enrollment automatically. Combined with our existing Track listing endpoints, you can build complete enrollment automation pipelines.

Learn more about the Track enrollment API.

Better GIFs with Klipy

We've switched our GIF provider from Tenor to Klipy. You'll notice higher quality GIFs, better search results, and a more diverse selection when adding GIFs to Shoutouts, birthday messages, and more.

Rich Text in Survey Descriptions

Survey descriptions now support rich text formatting. Add bold, italic, and hyperlinks to make your survey introductions clearer and more engaging. Formatting is preserved when surveys are sent and renders consistently across all channels.

Bug Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where exporting Shoutouts could fail with certain data configurations
  • Fixed styling inconsistencies in the workspace connection confirmation dialog
  • Fixed null values appearing in some Introduction API response fields
