FAQs
Can Slack read the content I flag?
No, Slack isn’t reading your flagged content. The messages you flag are sent to designated admins in your org for review.
Who reviews the content that I flag?
Your Org Owners can designate specific people as Content Admins to review flagged content. These admins can see your name, the flagged content, and your reason for flagging the content. If the admin doesn’t have access to the conversation the content is from (for example, a message from a private channel they don’t belong to), they'll only see the content of the flagged message itself.
Will others be notified that I flagged their message?
Your org’s designated admins will see who flagged the content, what was flagged, and your reason for flagging. Org Owners have the option to enable notifications for content authors to let them know that their content has been removed.
