It can sometimes be a bit unnerving when changes occur that users are not aware of and this sometimes happens with Slack. It would be very helpful if there were accompanying notifications, tutorials, and/or webinars that were available for users to help ease them into seeing the new changes. Slack has been incredibly industrious with their product roadmap, releasing new features at an aggressive pace. In addition, Slack features a very robust API, allowing integration with third party application like WordPress, Salesforce, and email marketing platforms. In Slack, all of our conversations and resources are archived and searchable, helping users reference important discussions that happened days, weeks, or even months ago. Whether conferencing or chatting with one employee or several, Slack enables us to quickly ask questions, share ideas, and post helpful resources with one another in a safe, secure environment. Lack has become our ‘go to tool’ for internal communication, collaboration, and resource sharing at work. ![]() Finally, I wish message history would save for longer periods of time and not get deleted. That functionality seems to have disappeared so now it just shows the long link without a document title. Similarly, Google Doc or Spreadsheet links would show the name of the file once it was pasted into Slack so the recipient could see what the doc was before opening it. ![]() Also, when I inserted a Google Drive link in the past it would show the destination URL but with recent Slack updates, this sync has not always worked. The platform logs me out a lot, just about every day which can be annoying. Also, the Google Hangouts link is a nice addition because you don’t have to leave the platform to call a team member. The ability to “pin” a message or file to a conversation makes it easy for me to find important materials when I need to (if I can remember which user or channel the file is located). Being able to upload files and integrate other software has been very beneficial for us too. The real-time communication capabilities Slack offers is the best I’ve used in my professional career.
