Frequently asked questions
Slack is popular among developers for a reason: it makes their work simpler and more productive. They can choose whatever tools they like for deploys, testing, etc., and integrate them into Slack. This increases the value of their existing tech stack, and centralises team discussions.
Slack is infinitely customisable: bots, workflows and apps mean that each team can configure Slack to fit its own development cycle. Find out more reasons why engineering teams love Slack.
Adding a bot to Slack is a smart way to boost team productivity. Bots can be added by going to the Slack Marketplace and installing them to your workspace (you may need an admin to do this). Or, you can create your own custom bots. Here’s more about what bots can do and how to use them.

A Slack workspace is a shared hub made up of channels where team members can communicate and work together. You can join as many workspaces as you like.
Slack admins can set permissions for who is allowed to join a workspace and which files and messages they can access. They can also choose which bots or apps are installed. Learn more about getting started with Slack workspaces.
