A whistleblower hotline employees will actually use.
Stand up an anonymous ethics-reporting channel inside the tool employees already trust. Approval queue, audit mode, and channel whitelists — with no third-party portal for reporters to track down.

The reports you're missing aren't in your portal.
Every compliance team has an EthicsPoint or NAVEX portal. The problem isn't the portal; it's that employees don't remember it exists. The reports that actually surface start as a DM to a trusted colleague, a hallway conversation, or a late-night Slack thread to a manager. By the time they reach the official channel — if they ever do — the evidence has decayed. A Slack-native hotline captures the first impulse, with the same confidentiality your portal promises.
Built for the moderator on the other side.
Moderator approval queue
Every submission lands in an approval queue before it touches a public channel. Your ethics committee or compliance officer decides what gets posted, what stays private, and what escalates.
Scoped reporting channel
Use channel whitelists to restrict anonymous posting to a single #ethics-reports channel that only the ethics committee can read. Nothing leaks to #general by accident.
Audit mode (disclosed)
For jurisdictions that require attributable records, admins can enable audit mode — but it's disclosed to every reporter before they submit, with a visible notice and a cancel button. No secret unmasking.
Unlimited moderators
Your ethics committee might be three people or thirty. Moderator count isn't a billing lever — Enterprise includes unlimited moderators.
One-click flagging
Moderators can pull inappropriate posts instantly — harassment, PII, anything that shouldn't stay up while the investigation runs.
Thread-level follow-up
Investigators can ask clarifying questions in the thread. Reporters answer anonymously. No unmasking required to complete an investigation.
From report to closed investigation.
1. Employee files a report
From any device already signed into Slack. No new portal, no password, no 'find the link'. Just /anony in the #ethics-reports channel.
2. Approval queue intercepts
The report lands in the moderator queue — visible only to the designated compliance reviewers. Nothing is posted publicly yet.
3. Triage & investigation
Reviewers classify, assign, and decide next steps. Clarifications go back through the thread anonymously. External escalation happens outside Slack.
4. Close the loop
Resolution is posted to the thread so the reporter (and anyone who flagged similar) knows the report was taken seriously — without revealing details of any individual employee discipline.
Anony Botter is a confidential-intake tool; it's not legal advice. Consult counsel for jurisdiction-specific requirements (SOX, EU Whistleblower Directive, UK PIDA, California Labor Code, etc.) before relying on a Slack-based hotline as your sole reporting channel.
