Send emails to your direct message with Slackbot
Who can use this feature?
All members (but not guests )
Free , Standard , Plus , and Enterprise Grid plans
To help you keep track of emails in Slack, you can create a forwarding address to send emails to your direct message (DM) with Slackbot . This is a great way to bring additional context into Slack, alongside other personal notes and files .
Tip: If you're using Slack on a paid plan, you can also create email addresses for conversations or install the Email app to send emails to any channel or DM.
Set up a forwarding address
From your desktop, click your profile picture in the top right.
Select Preferences from the menu.
Click Messages & media .
Scroll down to Bring emails into Slack , then click Get a Forwarding Address . Slack will generate a randomized forwarding email address.
Click Copy to copy the forwarding address and use it to set up a forwarding rule in your email client.
Note: To stop forwarding emails to your DM with Slackbot, go to the Messages & media section of your preferences. Below your forwarding address, click Disable this address .
