Make teamwork more productive

The more you use Slack, the more useful it becomes. With all of your organisation’s messages available in search, you can find context from past decisions or get new team members up to speed faster.

Take a break from typing and start a live audio conversation (with video, screen sharing, a message thread and fun reactions/effects) in a channel or direct message. Brainstorm, make decisions or just catch up – all at the flip of a switch.

Use audio and video to bring your work to life. Record a quick idea with an audio clip, or share your screen in a video clip, all without leaving Slack. Colleagues can respond whenever they like.

Collaborate seamlessly across organisational boundaries with Slack Connect. Separate organisations can work together from within their own Slack workspaces.

Get your whole team on the same page with canvases; the collaborative surface for organising your most important documentation for a channel, direct message or project. Create action item checklists, channel FAQ, onboarding guides and more. You can even embed workflows directly into a canvas!

Lists bring work management to where teams are already collaborating. You can visualise and organise tasks from your conversations so you can track cross-functional projects, requests, approvals, and more.

Ready-to-use templates with powerful automation built in. Grid subscription includes the ability to publish custom templates for your company.

Keep your projects, teams and priorities straight by organising your channels and conversations into custom, collapsible sections in your sidebar.

Find the right person to help move work forwards. Search for people and keywords within the directory, review team members’ profiles and find all the context that you need to get in touch.

Slack AI is a simple, intuitive AI experience embedded in your flow of work in Slack.

Choose from over 2,600 apps in the Slack Marketplace to support whatever work you do – from Salesforce, Jira, Google Drive, ChatGPT and more.

Automate routine tasks and processes right in Slack, no code needed. Workflows can be as simple or as complex as you like, and can even be connected to other apps and tools you use to get work done.

Custom workflow steps allow you to add systems and business logic unique to your organisation into a workflow. They are built by developers using Slack APIs.

Developers can deploy custom functions to Slack's secure, managed infrastructure at no additional cost.

By default, Slack encrypts data at rest and in transit as part of our foundational security controls.

Add an additional layer of security to your account so that you never have to worry about your password being compromised.

Using Google for Open Authorisation makes it possible for your team members to securely sign in to Slack using their Google accounts. That’s one less password to remember.

Sign in to Slack through an IDP of your choice for additional security and convenience. Choose from up to 12 SSO configurations, including OneLogin, Ping, Microsoft Azure and Okta.

Slack EKM enhances the ability of organisations to share sensitive conversations and files while meeting security requirements. Use your own encryption keys and view detailed activity logs in Amazon’s AWS KMS.

Take control of how your data is used on mobile devices with EMM. Some EMM providers that we work with include VMware AirWatch, Ivanti MobileIron and Blackberry UEM.

Audit logs provide a record of changes and usage on Enterprise Grid. You can view audit logs right in Slack, export them as a CSV and use the Audit Logs API to create custom monitoring tools.

Sync the groups you've created in your IDP to workspaces and channels within your Enterprise Grid organisation. If your IDP does not support syncing groups, you can use our SCIM API to do it manually.

Choose how long to retain files and messages, as well as whether to keep previous versions of messages that have since been edited or deleted.

Workspace owners and admins can export data from all channels and conversations, including private channels and direct messages, as needed and permitted by law.

Slack can be configured to support protected health information (PHI) within uploaded files and message content.

For teams distributed across the globe, choose the region where certain types of data at rest will be stored.

Data loss prevention in Slack Connect scans messages and files sent by members of your organisation to reduce the risk of sharing confidential, malicious or personally identifiable content with external orgs.

Create information barriers between IDP groups to prevent specific members from sending DMs or starting huddles with each other, avoiding conflicts of interest and safeguarding sensitive information.

In an Enterprise Grid organisation, you can place a legal hold on specific members to preserve their messages and files in Slack. This means that messages and files sent by all members in a conversation will be saved regardless of retention settings or if members edit or delete any content.

Like a virtual office, a workspace is where work happens in Slack. All your channels, direct messages and tools live in a workspace.

Adjust who’s allowed to post to channels or use mentions that notify all channel members. This helps to keep large channels, such as those used for announcements, distraction-free.

Everyone in a workspace is a member of the #general channel, making it a great place to share announcements.

Everyone in a workspace is a member of the #general channel, making it a great place to share announcements.

Make it easier to send notifications and communicate with entire teams, departments or groups.

Slack supports member provisioning with the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) standard. To set up provisioning, you’ll need to use a connector app alongside a supported identity provider.

Use approved third-party apps to act on messages and files from Slack using our Discovery API.

If your company owns or operates under multiple web domains, Slack can help you to claim them.

Org owners and admins can outline the rules to join and use their Slack org.

Assign system roles to individual members, IDP groups, or assign members to multiple system roles. Granular controls allow you to choose whether members can manage administrative tasks for all or only specific workspaces in your Enterprise Grid organisation.

Retrieve analytics data for a given date, presented as a compressed JSON file.

The Slack analytics dashboard grants you insight into how your organisation uses Slack. Easily find and sort information to understand more about the messages, channels and members in your workspace or Enterprise Grid organisation.

With message activity, owners, admins and members with permission can see how many people have interacted with a given message in Slack. You can use message activity to measure the impact of announcements and internal communications campaigns for your organisation.

We’re here to help you get the most out of Slack, with support for your team every step of the way.
