Slack Connect is a secure way to collaborate with external organizations, right in Slack. Unlike email, which leaves your team at risk of spam and phishing, Slack Connect and verified organizations help ensure you're working with trusted organizations.
What verification looks like
When Slack verifies an organization, a purple check mark will appear next to an organization’s name. You’ll see this check mark when you add someone from a verified organization to a channel in your Slack workspace, or when you accept an invite from someone at that organization, as seen below.
How Slack verifies organizations
We'll be working to verify organizations on an ongoing basis, but we're not accepting verification requests at this time. If verified, we’ll automatically apply the verified check mark to that organization's profile.
When evaluating the legitimacy of an organization, we look at a number of factors:
The organization is a paid customer of Slack.
The organization is authentic — it has a verifiable public business presence, or other factors we may evaluate.
Slack cannot fully guarantee that an organization’s identity is legitimate, and this feature is provided as a convenience for customers. It is ultimately the responsibility of customers to confirm the identity of its trusted external organizations. Slack is not liable for any issues caused by identification errors, and Slack reserves the right to remove the verified check mark from organizations at our discretion.
