Feature-request survey routed into shared Slack triage
Route every post-launch feature request into one shared channel so product can spot demand clusters before the roadmap drifts.
Why this can grow a startup
A launch usually produces too many opinions to read one by one in isolation. A single intake path turns scattered asks into a visible queue that product, marketing, and support can read together. That makes repeated pain easier to notice and keeps the roadmap tied to live usage instead of pre-launch guesses.
Company example
Buffer sent feature requests through a Typeform survey into its internal #feature-requests Slack channel, where the product team grouped requests into categories to look for trends after launching Start Page.

When to use it
Use this when Feedback, Product, Slack is relevant to post-launch, roadmap, voice of customer and you can run a bounded test with a free budget.
When not to use it
Do not use it as a substitute for customer evidence, a clear owner, or a measurable stop condition. Local platform rules and market behavior still need checking.
Founder checklist

- Choose one channel context: Feedback, Product, Slack.
- Define the test around Buffer said roughly 10 new feature requests came through the shared channel on most days..
- Set an owner, evidence window, and stop condition before launch.
