If you are a new user, you need to learn some basic functions
to operate the app conveniently. This application is loaded with several
amazing features that make communication a lot easier.
Slack
shortcuts
Slack facilitates the users with a variety of shortcuts which
reduces the time to perform tasks. Some of the useful shortcuts include,
· Uploading a
file: Why drag a drop the file when you can simply press Ctrl+U and
attach the file that you want to share with the message.
·
Quick open the DMs: View your private one-to-one
conversations on the screen by pressing Ctrl+Shift+K.
·
Set your
status: Be active on the app and inform your fellow workmates about
your current status by uploading one. Press Ctrl+Shift+Y and set a status so
that your colleagues know about your location and availability.
·
Add people
to call: Conference calls are significant when you need to discuss
something with your mates. During a call, if you want to add more people, press
the '+' sign and search for the person you need to add in.
·
Do not
disturb: If you feel the need to zone yourself out for a limited
period, enable the do not disturb shortcut for your desired time and do the
work with better concentration.
Organize
your channels
Sometimes, slack gets way too congested because you
participate in the high number of channels due to which you miss out the
important messages. Keep the channels organized so that you don't face any
challenges. What you need to do in the first place is to figure out that which
channel is most important and which is the least. You can mute the channels and
pin the main ones. Organize them as per the priority and urgency.
It is a leading application that has made business
communication less miserable and much efficient. You can have your entire team
under a single platform. However, if you want to share something confidential
with a particular person, there is a person direct message option for that.
