Free-Text Quiz Questions

Add quiz questions that people answer in their own words. Set the accepted answers when writing the question. Doozy checks responses against those answers and uses AI to assess variations in wording or spelling.

Quiz admins can review responses and mark them correct or incorrect. Scores update to reflect their decision.

Free-text questions are supported in Slack, the quiz editor, Doozy AI, and the public API.

Access Rules

Admins can manage who gets Doozy access using one of three rules:

  • Everyone in your Slack workspace
  • People who match selected groups, have a record in your HR system, or meet both conditions
  • Specific people you choose

HR-based rules can add eligible employees when their start date arrives, even before they join Slack.

Choose whether Doozy removes access when someone leaves or is deactivated in Slack, or stops matching your conditions. Review who will gain or lose access before confirming changes.

Scheduling permissions

For each activity type, allow scheduling by admins, admins and managers, or all users. These permissions apply to activities a person created or was added to as an admin.

By default, admins and managers can schedule tracks, introductions, and icebreakers. All users can schedule quizzes and surveys. Existing custom restrictions stay in place.

Broadcast Tracks

Broadcast tracks send a scheduled sequence of messages and activities to an audience. Run one for a policy rollout, a product launch, or a recurring survey.

Choose a destination for each step:

  • A Slack channel
  • Channel members, each receiving a direct message
  • One or more groups
  • Specific people

Steps can include messages, quizzes, surveys, polls, and webhooks, each with its own day and time.

Start immediately, choose a future date and time zone, or set a repeating schedule. Review the step times before confirming a one-off run. Each run follows the track's working days and has its own progress report.

Surveys, One Question at a Time

Surveys in Slack show one question at a time. Each answer is saved when the person moves to the next question. If they close the survey, they can resume from the first unanswered question.

Saved answers appear in results before the survey is finished. Unfinished responses are marked In progress.

Long text answers and comments appear in full in the All Answers table.

Survey Results by Demographic

Filter named survey and poll results by department, group, country, region, city, office, or direct manager. Filters use each person's current Doozy profile, including details synced from your HR system.

Combine conditions to select an audience, such as engineers in London. Add an OR group to include another audience in the same view, such as US salespeople.

Filters apply to summaries, question results, comments, participants, trends, and CSV exports.

Share filtered results

Save a filtered view and choose who can open it. Viewers see the latest results for that audience without access to the full survey. They must sign in to Doozy.

Anonymous surveys cannot be filtered by demographic because responses aren't linked to people.

Ask Doozy AI About Your Results

Ask Doozy AI questions about track progress, quiz scores, and survey responses. Answers include results and links to the relevant reports.

For example:

  • "Which questions did people get wrong most on the security quiz?"
  • "What was the response rate on the new hire survey?"
  • "How far has Priya progressed through her tracks?"

Ask for an export to download a report as a CSV, TSV, or JSON file. Answers and exports only include results you have permission to view.

Auto-Scheduled Introductions

Doozy can book introduction meetings directly in participants' calendars.

For individual introductions, choose how meetings are scheduled:

  • Find a free slot in participants' calendars within your chosen window, from the same day to the next week.
  • Book a fixed weekday and time, such as Thursday at 3 p.m.

Group introductions can suggest available times in Slack or automatically book a fixed weekday and time.

Meetings support Google Meet, Zoom, and Microsoft Teams, depending on your connected calendar and enabled meeting locations.

MCP Server

Connect Doozy to Claude, ChatGPT, or another MCP-compatible assistant and ask about:

  • Track progress, including who has started, finished, or stopped progressing
  • Quiz results and individual answers
  • Survey and poll responses
  • A person's activity across tracks, quizzes, and surveys
  • Group and cohort membership, and reporting relationships

The connection is read-only and uses your Doozy permissions. Anonymous survey responses stay anonymous.

Workspace admins choose which roles can connect. In a workspace with MCP access enabled, open Settings > Your account > AI assistants to connect or disconnect your assistant.

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 are live.

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.
