FAQ's - Feedback

How does Windmill access our information, and what integrations are supported?

Windmill connects to supported platforms (Slack, Google Workspace, Linear, GitHub, Notion, etc.) via secure integrations. Each integration is authorized by the customer. Available integrations are listed on the ‘Integrations’ page. For systems without direct API connections, Windmill can pick up inputs if such systems post to Slack or Google Docs. However, native integrations are preferred, and the team adds new ones at a rate of 2-3 per month. Custom integration requests are typically turned around in about two days.

How does Windmill handle continuous feedback, and how is feedback collected and reported?

Windmill uses a continuous feedback routine that identifies collaboration patterns (using organizational network analysis) and prompts people to give timely feedback to those they've recently worked with. Windy pulls out deeper feedback via follow-up questions, making the feedback actionable and context-specific. Managers can see all raw feedback and use it to inform reviews and ongoing development.

How do employees receive requests to evaluate their colleagues? What does the process look like?

Employees receive feedback/evaluation requests from Windy directly in Slack as conversational messages. Using organizational network analysis, Windy can to detect when colleagues have been working together, and will follow up via Slack for timely and constructive feedback.

Is anonymous feedback truly anonymous, or can admins see who sent it? Is there a way to have semi-anonymous feedback, like showing department or job title?

If you set a feedback routine as anonymous, it is fully anonymous—even admins cannot see who sent it. Currently, there is not a built-in option for semi-anonymous feedback (like seeing department or job title only).

Would there be a way to segment feedback or reporting about contractors versus full-time employees?

Currently there is not. Right now all feedback is tracked, but in the future, there may be separation between contractors and full-time/permanent employees in terms of reporting and feedback flows.
