You can share messages in Slack when you need to add context or key information to conversations. Messages in public channels can be shared to any other conversation in Slack, but messages from private channels and direct messages can only be shared in their original conversations. To share a message, you have two options:
Use the share message icon
Copy a link to the message
Share a message
Using the share message icon, you can automatically forward a message to another conversation along with an optional message or note.
