Slack

Slack allows businesses, communities, and other organizations to create a private, dedicated workspace complete with a custom URL.

After a simple signup process, you’ll be able to invite your team to join and start getting work done.

For small to medium-sized companies, you’ll likely need just one workspace organized by public and private channels to meet all your needs, but Slack also has features to help enterprises manage multiple workspaces if that makes more sense (more on that below).

Company-Wide and Private Messaging

Slack messaging is grouped into channels and direct messages to organize conversations and replace communications that might otherwise be scattered across emails, text messages, or in person meetings.

Public channels are open to all members of a workspace and can cover everything from different marketing and sales operations to random discussions and streams of memes (if you’re company likes to have as much fun as we do).

You can also create Private channels in Slack to help break down large teams into their relevant working groups or restrict sensitive conversations or work materials to relevant team members.

And Slack allows private messages, sent directly to other team members, so you can have one-off communications or keep things organized between you and specific members of your team.
