I want employees to provide me with structured feedback on ‘Topic1’. The idea: Everyone is added to a group called ‘Topic1’. Employees write their responses within this group, but only the management can see all the answers. Employees can only see their own responses. Management should be able to respond to an individual employee’s message, which in turn is only visible to that specific employee. However, management should also be able to message everyone at once. Additionally, I want to distribute the **Form.xdc** Mini-app to everyone with the instruction to submit their responses via this app. When they hit send, it should generate a structured message. ---

A manager can create a public broadcast channel and send the invite link to the employees. The manager can post topics in the channel. An employee can choose a message in the channel and select reply privately. webxdc will only work one-way with the present API, unless the manager (or their bot) sends the file to each employee in a private message. > [@Requesting a new bot for coauthoring, pinned messages and to resend recent chat log in a broadcast channel](https://support.delta.chat/t/requesting-a-new-bot-for-coauthoring-pinned-messages-and-to-resend-recent-chat-log-in-a-broadcast-channel/4682/1): > > (Let me redraft this topic with more actionable wording) A publisher sends a private message to the bot and receives some help text in return. Then typing /new there would create a new channel and a corresponding private control group and invite the publisher user there. The initial publisher may invite further co-authors and bots (e.g., RSS & Atom feed reader) to this control group. Slash commands are allowed, but only for the original publisher initially (tokens are made up): /help /admin … ## Addendum: You could implement another, less expensive workaround. The survey host and the donors could participate in a single, regular private Delta Chat group. The survey host sends in a special webxdc that the donors would fill in. The webxdc comes bundled with a dedicated public key for the survey host. The webxdc as ran by the donors would encrypt their answers using public key cryptography in a way that only the survey host could decrypt, not other donors. You could either bundle a simple crypto library or use the subtle crypto API already implemented in most browsers: > **[RSA-OAEP - SubtleCrypto: encrypt() method - Web APIs | MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/SubtleCrypto/encrypt#rsa-oaep)** > > The RSA-OAEP public-key encryption system is specified in RFC 3447. | The encrypt() method of the SubtleCrypto interface encrypts data. ---

I’ve described another workaround in an edit. ---
