Frequently asked questions

Excellent question. Slack is a new way for your entire company to communicate. It replaces email with something faster, better organized, and more secure. Instead of one-off email chains, all your communication is organized into channels that are easy to create, join, and search. When there’s a channel for everything going on at your company, everyone knows exactly where to go to get work done.

The key to Slack success is channels. By creating a channel for all your projects, teams, offices, departments—everything you’re doing at work—you create a space for every conversation to happen. And because channels are easy to join and create, Slack can adapt to meet changing needs. If someone new joins a project, you can simply add them to the channel and they can scroll up to read through old conversations. When it’s time to start something new, create a new channel and invite the right people.
