Slack Features
Slack Integrations
Slack is a company that offers an easy-to-use platform for managing daily tasks.
Integration with many different applications will allow you to work more efficiently without complications. Some of these slack integrations include MailChimp, Intercom, ZenDesk and SurveySparrow.
Audio and video calls
Imagine being able to communicate with your co-workers in a more engaging channel even when you are continents away from each other. You can do this by using Slack, an app that lets you talk and share files without having any other platforms like Skype or Google meetings!
Slackbot
You can connect bots to Slack, with which you can have your bot do everything from reminding you about important deadlines, taking notes during meetings and more.
All this is possible with the help of an API that will allow developers to create bots for any task they need to be done instantly without having anyone else code it themselves. You can create your bot to help with productivity and communications.
Slash commands
A slash command is a handy tool that you can use to create shortcuts and expedite your activities within the platform. There are many pre-defined commands available, depending on your requirements.
Private Channels
Slack's private channel feature is designed for quick, easy and secure communication.
Create private channels to share documents or have a one-on-one conversation with co-workers in the limited members of that particular channel - it will make sending confidential information easier than ever.
You can also use Slack as a channel of communication across different teams by creating multiple separate discussion groups, each dedicated towards specific tasks like sales etc.; this ensures you never miss out again when someone wants input from your side on an issue because they can send messages directly into their workspace without being seen by any other user besides themselves.
Accessibility
Slack has a mobile app and works on all mobile devices, so you'll have access 24/7.
It's especially useful if the office PC isn't available, as it allows for instant responses on messages even when out and about.
You also get all of its features without having too much hardware taking up space in one place.
