Slack organizes conversations into dedicated spaces called channels. Add people to channels to bring the right people and information in your workspace together in one place (for people outside your company, learn how to use Slack Connect to invite them to a channel).
Tip: To help onboard new members, owners and admins can set default channels for them to automatically join.
Open the channel you'd like to add people to.
Click cluster of profile pictures in the top right.
Click Add people.
To add a few people, search for the members you'd like to add by name, email address, or user group (if you're using a paid plan) and select them. To add a large group, paste the list of names or email addresses into the field.
When you're done, click Add.
Open the channel you’d like to add people to.
Tap the channel name at the top.
Tap Add.

Tip: On paid plans, you can invite a usergroup to a channel on mobile with the /invite @[usergroup]slash command.
