Allow multiple people to hold the conch at the same time.
This can be useful for allowing groups of people to claim a resource simultaneously, whilst others are queued in line. Eg help your customer support team coordinate lunch break groups without leaving the phones un-manned /dibs on lunch
more info |
Multi-leader queues new |
Work with multiple queues simultaneously using a queue name alias.
One popular alias setup is mapping infrastructure regions to availability zones. Eg you might setup the alias us to target the queues us-east-1a, us-east-1b, us-east-1c and us-east-1d.
Then claim and manage the queues for an entire region with one name: /dibs on us
/dibs off us

Privacy Policy
The information that is put into this service is used only to run this service. No spam. No data collection. Here are the long versions Privacy Policy and Terms of Service. And the plain fact from the Slack app store about what data Dibs is able to collect, compared to another similar app:


What is this conch you speak of?
In the 1954 William Golding novel Lord of the Flies the kids
would take turns speaking - only one could speak at a time, provided they held
the conch (a seashell) they could cooperate by passing it around between them.
Can I try out the extra features?
Every account may try out the Pro features by entering
/dibs extras
into Slack or Discord.
This will enable the Pro features for free for a month - no credit card required.
