In Slack, you can find people you work with from the directory.
What to expect
Search for people in the directory to view their profiles, send them direct messages (DMs), or start calls.
Filter results by account type, like guest or deactivated account.
If you use Slack Connect to work with people outside your company, you can view people you work with from other organizations.
On the Standard, Plus, and Enterprise Grid plans, you can browse user groups in your workspace.
