Frequently asked questions
Excellent question. Slack is a new way for your entire company to communicate. It replaces email with something faster, better organised and more secure.

When there’s a channel for everything that’s happening at your company, everyone knows exactly where to go to get work done.For more reading on the topic, we recommend taking a look at our Resources Library.
The key to Slack success is channels. By creating a channel for all your projects, teams, offices, departments – everything that you’re doing at work – you create a space for every conversation to happen. And because channels are easy to join and create, Slack can adapt to meet changing needs. If someone new joins a project, you can simply add them to the channel and they can scroll up to read through old conversations. When it’s time to start something new, create a new channel and invite the right people.To learn more, read up on how to collaborate effectively in channels.
