r/Slack

In my team I notice senior engineers write detailed explanations in Slack, but months later nobody can find them. Curious how others solve this.

We're a small team of 5 people but we have chaos in our workplace. I'm constantly stuck in "task management mode". The question is: is there any AI SaaS or a tool out there that is solving the issue of task creation, updates, assignment and etc without installing bunch of agents or stupid prompts and is integrated quickly for the whole team? We currently use Slack and Jira.

For those in organizations with a million channels and dms, how do you organize your slack?

I have 50 unopened messages at any given point.

Sections, notifications, l save and remind me have been god sends

Managing slack is a whole job in is it's own

I'm running Slack as a snap on Ubuntu 24.04.

It looks like there's been an update a few weeks ago that changed fonts in the Slack app (unless it was a Ubuntu update that changed the default fonts?).

Since then, formatted code and code blocks look like this:

I have tried creating a .fonts.conf file to override the default, but nothing has changed.

This is unreadable. Is it just me? I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. I wonder if Slack is now using its own fonts, except this one may not be available on my system?

A client has invited me to their Slack via Slack Connect invite sent to a free instance we both use in our co-working space.

I click on it and it tells me I need to upgrade to one of the Slack paid programs.

I already have a Slack Pro account I'm paying for and really don't want to pay again.

How do I get that invite sent over to my existing paid account ?

Just re-sending the invite to my current work email sends me right over to our shared community free instance where I run into the "Please Upgrade" blocker again .

Claude Tag is interesting to me less as a product and more for the question it forces. Are you actually fine with a standing AI agent that sits in your company Slack all the time, reads everything across every channel, remembers it long term, and acts on its own?

The useful part is obvious. Most of the "where are we on X, who owns Y, what did we decide" stuff is really just a memory problem, and a teammate that already knows is great. But a persistent agent with full read access to company chat, run by some third party, is a big trust ask. Slack is where the unfiltered stuff lives.

I keep seeing three reactions:

1. Totally fine with it. The productivity wins, and they already trust the vendor.
2. Want the capability but not the cloud. These folks would run a local version where the memory stays on their own machine. OpenLoomi is the open source one I've seen in that lane, still early and desktop only, but the data stays on device with audit logs.
3. Don't want a standing agent at all. Only something on demand, nothing always watching.

I lean 2 myself.

Hi — I'm trying to confirm a restriction I was told about regarding the Slack Assistants API.

Slack support told me that assistant:write and the AI-native UX are only available to Slack Marketplace partners, and that access is currently limited to select partners. However, I can't find any documentation that confirms this restriction, and I was able to set up a test app that appears to expose the functionality.

Can anyone confirm whether this limitation is accurate, and point to official documentation either way?

Thank you!

Currently we are using multiple Google accounts, what’s app and texts. We are ready to try and organize this mess. The plan at this point is to use Slack and Clickup.

My question is about structure if we need one workspace or two workspaces. Here’s what we are trying to coordinate

1. Ecom business with a few offshore employees
2. STR (5-6 house) with a offshore VA
3. Online membership business
4. Personal life and projects.

My first thought talking to Claude is the ecom business as one workspace and all the rest in a separate one. My wife and run all the others together and the ecom company I mainly do and its bigger than all the others.

The other option is one workspace and then use private channels.

This is new to me and with my ADHD I really struggle with organizational details. That’s a big reason for implementing this is to try and consolidate communication and reduce stress. Thoughts from people with expertise would be appreciated. Thanks.

Recently it seems that links copied into DM/channels shows a shorten link instead of the full url. Is there a way to change it back to full url display as the default

Is it just me, or does the new announcement about the capabilities of the Slack bot seem like Slack apps are going to be less valuable and having a good mcp will be more valuable?

I’m also not clear if adding your MCP within your Slack app settings enables it only for Slackbot or also for your Slack app.

Hi Folks,

Just bought a new macbook and can't get it to mirror slack on my desktop! It should be a no-brainer right? I did check for updates and ensured I was logged into the same account, etc.

Please advise. Thanks
