# Snitch Snitch is a Slack-based org chart tool that asks employees who they report to, builds a live reporting structure, and answers org-chart questions. It helps teams keep reporting lines current without maintaining a separate HR system or spreadsheet. - Findings24: - Website: - Pricing: Freemium - Categories: Productivity Tools ## What is Snitch? Snitch is a Slack-based org chart tool. It asks people who they report to, uses those answers to build a live reporting structure, and lets workspace members ask org-chart questions in plain language. The core workflow is designed for teams whose reporting lines change often and whose existing chart may be spread across documents or maintained manually. An administrator installs Snitch through Slack and approves the exact wording before any direct messages are sent. Employees answer individually, can update their own reporting line later, and can fill in optional profile-card fields. New joiners can be prompted automatically, while administrators can re-ask people after a manager leaves or a reorganization changes the structure. The resulting chart is available through a workspace-specific Snitch address and can be viewed only by signed-in members of the connected Slack workspace. Snitch also identifies reporting loops, departed managers, and multiple top executives, giving administrators issues to review instead of silently preserving stale lines. ## What can Snitch do? ### Employee-built reporting lines Snitch asks each included Slack member who they report to and records the answer directly, rather than requiring an administrator to populate every relationship. ### Conversational org-chart questions Workspace members can mention @Snitch in a channel and ask questions in plain language about reporting chains, team sizes, or who is responsible for an area. ### Live chart with navigation tools The chart has compact and detailed views, search, zoom, a navigator for larger structures, and color-coded departments. A guided tour is shown the first time someone opens it. ### Stale-line and structure checks Snitch flags reporting loops, departed managers, and cases where more than one person appears to be the top executive. Administrators can re-ask affected people or edit any reporting line by hand. ### Self-managed profile cards People fill in their own optional cards, with fields including pronouns, location, timezone, phone, email, start date, fun fact, Slack username, and supported Slack custom fields. ### Controlled Slack rollout An administrator can exclude people before launching a question round, review the exact message first, and rely on automatic exclusion of bots, guests, and deactivated accounts. ## Use Cases ### Build an initial org chart A team can collect reporting lines through one approved Slack question per person instead of asking an administrator to reconstruct the organization from separate documents or spreadsheets. ### Onboard new employees When someone joins, Snitch can ask who they report to automatically, helping place the new person on the chart without waiting for a manual update. ### Reflect a reorganization After a role or manager changes, an employee can tell Snitch about the new reporting line, and the chart can be updated without rebuilding the full structure. ### Review a departed manager’s team When a manager leaves, Snitch can flag people who still point to that manager and let an administrator re-ask them to identify their current reporting line. ### Answer recurring org questions Employees can use Snitch in Slack to look up reporting relationships and related structure questions without leaving the workspace or locating the latest chart file. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### Does Snitch require a Slack administrator to install? Yes. Installation requires a Slack admin because Snitch requests permission to read the member directory and send direct messages. The administrator approves the message wording before any outreach begins. ### What Slack information does Snitch access? Snitch uses the Slack member directory, including names, emails, avatars, and job titles, along with answers sent to the bot and profile fields people provide. It reads only direct messages sent to Snitch; the source states that it does not read channels, files, or other conversations. ### Can people change their reporting line later? Yes. Employees can tell Snitch when their reporting relationship changes, and administrators can also edit any reporting line manually. Snitch can re-ask people when a line becomes outdated or a manager departs. ### Who can view the org chart? The chart is visible only to people who sign in with Slack and are members of the connected workspace. The product states that it does not provide public charts or secret-link access. ### What happens after the 14-day trial? If no subscription starts, the chart remains readable, but Snitch stops asking and answering. Nothing is deleted or locked, and the product says it resumes when a subscription begins.
