Slack Connect allows you to work with people outside your company in channels and direct messages (DMs). When you’d like to connect your coworker with a colleague at another company, or introduce your contacts from different organizations you work with in Slack, you can securely share certain contact information from their profile. Then they can easily get in touch and start working together — right in Slack.

What to expect

• You can share someone’s contact info if you’re from the same company or if you work together in a Slack Connect channel or DM.
• The shared contact information includes their full name, display name, profile picture, email address (depending on their workplace settings), and company name — some of the basic elements you can see in their Slack profile.
• Your contacts will see that you've shared their info when the recipient sends them an invitation to connect.
• You won’t be able to share someone’s contact info if they’ve adjusted their contact sharing preferences.
• To share someone's contact info, you must be using a paid Slack plan, but the person you're sharing contact info with can be using any plan.

Share someone’s contact info

Note: The person whose contact information you've shared can ignore or block any invitations from people they don't want to connect with.

Working with contact info

Here are the options people will see when they hover over the contact info you've shared:

•  Send a message
  Click Message to start a DM conversation.
•  Share contact info
  Share this person’s contact info if someone else would benefit from reaching out to them.
•  Save contact info
  Easily find this person’s contact info by pressing CmdK (Mac) or CtrlK (Windows/Linux) and typing their name into the search field.

Note: Depending on each organization's Slack settings, people who are introduced may not be able to message each other in Slack.
