Use case: Weekly cleanup
Decide who does the weekly cleanup, fairly
Suggested schedule: Fridays at 16:00.
Why rotate it
Every team has a chore nobody volunteers for: emptying the office fridge, tidying the shared drive, closing stale tickets, archiving old channels. Left alone, it either never happens or always lands on the same considerate person.
A visible, automatic rotation fixes both problems. Who'll Do picks someone every Friday afternoon and posts it where the whole team can see it, so there's no awkward asking and no doubt about whose turn it is.
Fair mode keeps it even: everyone takes a turn before anyone repeats, including people who join the channel later. The person picked can press Done when it's handled, so the post doubles as a record, or pass it on if they're away that week. On Growth and Unlimited you can also skip people until a date you choose, for holidays or leave.
It works for physical chores and digital ones alike. Anything that should be shared, and isn't, is a good candidate.
Getting started is quick: add Who'll Do to Slack, pick the Weekly cleanup template and choose the channel where the team will see the post. The template suggests Friday at 16:00; change the day if your cleanup happens on a Monday, or the time if Friday afternoons are quiet.
Be specific in the task text. "Empty the fridge and run the dishwasher" or "archive channels with no messages in 90 days" gets done; "tidy up" gets argued about. The person picked can press Done when it's finished, which leaves a visible record in the channel for everyone else.
