a proper Teams app, not a Slack bot in a trench coat. @mention someone with a 🍑 and Prince Peach does the rest — counting, thank-yous and a store right in your Teams sidebar.
built for how Teams actually works, not squeezed into it.
in any channel Prince Peach is in, post a message that tags someone and includes a 🍑 — like @Marcus great launch 🍑. that's it.
saw someone else's win? open ⋯ → more actions → give a peach on their message, and say why.
when someone peaches you, it shows up in your Teams activity feed like any other notification.
why not emoji reactions? Teams doesn't let apps see reactions on other people's messages, so the 🍑 goes in the message itself. it's how recognition apps work on Teams — and it means every peach comes with a reason.
most organisations only allow approved Teams apps, so loop in IT early. it's a one-time yes.
once it's ready, find givepeaches in the Teams app store. join the waitlist and we'll tell you the day it lands.
a Teams admin allows givepeaches in the Teams admin center.
peaches only count in channels he's in, so add him wherever wins get shared. then pick the channel for the friday round-up.
admins can pin Prince Peach to everyone's left rail with an app setup policy, so nobody has to go looking.
how many peaches everyone gets a day (5 is the default) and whether to switch the store on.
what Prince Peach asks for, and why he needs it.
| he can… | so that… |
|---|---|
| read messages in channels he's added to | he can spot 🍑s in messages. he ignores anything without one, and he's only in the channels you add him to — never chats or DMs. |
| send messages and cards | he can confirm peaches and post the friday round-up, always as himself. |
| send activity notifications | you get a “you've been peached” ping in your activity feed. |
| see team members | you can pick who to peach and see names in the store. |
Teams doesn't let apps see reactions on other people's messages, so the 🍑 goes in the message itself. it's how recognition apps work on Teams, and you get to say why.
@mention them all in one message. each 🍑 you add goes to every person you tagged, so two peaches for two people uses four of your five for the day.
standard channels only for now. peaches count in any standard channel Prince Peach has been added to, in public or private teams.
no. you'll need a work or school Microsoft 365 account, and your IT team will need to allow the app.
usually, yes. most organisations only allow approved apps, so someone with access to the Teams admin center will need to say yes once.
not at launch. let us know on the waitlist if you need it.
givepeaches is live on Slack. the Teams app is next: join the waitlist and Prince Peach will let you know the day it's ready.
