Channels

Work without limits in channels.

Channels bring the right people and information together. Align on any topic, share collective knowledge, and take action with AI at your side.

Channels

Bring conversations out of the inbox and into the open.

Channels are flexible, transparent spaces for working together. Discuss projects, share files, even automate processes — you can do it all in a channel, and you can create as many as you’d like.

    Slack Connect

    Work with people outside your company, right from Slack.

    Slack Connect channels let you work with your most valued customers, partners, and agencies as closely (and as securely) as you work with your own team.

          Frequently Asked Questions

          DMs are just between you and one or more recipients. Think of it as a private conversation people might have in a small room.

          With channels, you can assemble the right people in one space and organize around a common goal. Channels can be made public or private, and any member who’s added to a channel can easily read up on the past messages they need to get up to speed. It’s easy to join and leave channels, and you can always find them again in your sidebar or using search.

          You can invite someone outside of your company to share a channel in Slack using their email address. Your admins may need to approve invitations you send. Depending on each company’s Slack settings, people may also need admin approval to accept your invitation.

          Salesforce channels give teams a dedicated space to work together to support a specific customer, deal, or any other topic tracked in Salesforce. Salesforce channels include important customer data and CRM quick actions while connecting the team conversation back to customer data, offering more value and convenience than a standard channel.

          Salesforce channels will be generally available on September 16, 2024, initially to Slack Sales Elevate license holders.
