Doozy Roulette is a great way to help build connections within your team. You can schedule it to run in any channel, and we’ll automatically match the channel members regularly.
Connect Doozy to your HR system first to enable groups, new hires and cross-team matching preferences. See the Connect your HRIS help page for more information.
