This is more of a feature for yourself than anyone else. You upload files the same way you would to an email, by clicking the paperclip icon in your message window. Upload any foundational files involved in the topic or project and post a welcome message to kick things off. If you have written a message in a thread but then realized this would be worth also saying in the channel, you can use the “Also send to #channel” checkbox below your message.
You can ask for clarification on a topic or share ideas, safe in the knowledge everyone’s unread indicator in the channel won’t go berserk. They are perfect for collaborations with discussions and projects in a team channel. Threads are essentially ongoing conversations. Practicing using emojis as a response can also help reduce the clutter and noise in Slack! You can also build these into your workflows, for example, people can put their 👀 on something to tell everyone they’re reviewing it and then a ✅ when they’ve completed their review. They’re a simple way to quickly respond to a message with one click. Channels are listed alphabetically so make sure to include prefixes to your channel names so they are grouped together.įor example, for channels to support projects you could set the channel name as #project- followed by the name of the project, for example #project-flowmigration or #project-leadgen.įor such a simple tool, emojis in Slack can be very powerful. Consistent Naming Conventions for Channelsĭrafting naming conventions for your channels is a great way of making sure everyone can find the channels and information that they are looking for quickly. One thing to bear in mind is that owners and admins can choose to restrict permissions for users who can use these commands.ģ. They aren’t meant for sharing cat gifs (unless you are in a specific #catgif channel). These commands are designed for sharing important announcements that require everyone’s attention such as an urgent matter with a project. The command will notify everyone in that channel regardless of their status, whereas will only notify those who are online at that moment. vs using channels, you are able to mention other users directly in your messages by using followed by the user’s display name.īut Slack also gives you the ability to notify the entire channel, or even your whole workspace with two different commands and should be very careful when using either of these commands, especially in channels with many users such as #general.
