Coffee Lottery Matching

You can also have CoffeePals send the host an email when they receive a winning participant. This is great if the individual isn't very active on Teams.

Once you click save, CoffeePals will send a message to the team and each user on the team informing them that the lottery has started.

Choose the channel messages get sent to in your Teams team




Coffee Lottery FAQ




Can I change the date and frequency of the Coffee Lottery?


Yes, you can change the date and frequency to meet your needs. The frequency can be anywhere between 1-12 weeks.

Which plans have Coffee Lottery?


Coffee Lottery is available on our pro and enterprise plans. We do not charge for all active users in the team, only the users who are matched every week. This means that if you purchase CoffeePals for only the Lottery feature on the pro plan, the maximum you will be charged is our lowest tier.

Is it possible that a group gets selected multiple times in a row?


No. Our Coffee Lottery feature uses a smart algorithm to choose users who haven't yet had a chance to meet with the host.
