“I don't use slack so I don't know how it works but you should close it down so you don't see the notifications at night. Do something so you are not seeing those notifications - whatever you need to do.”
“Honestly the worst part is when someone updates a ticket in Jira but forgets to ping the Slack thread, so half the team keeps working off old info until someone randomly checks. That and digging through three different tools just to figure out if a PR actually passed CI or not.”
“Inbound Webhook url will be given when you make a slack app and you can post a little hitter payload into the slack api that allows a channel to be configured for what channel to pass messages down to.”
“If you have access to Slack workflows, you can connect your Salesforce org to Slack and then you can build a workflow of a Salesforce event trigger. Then you can add a slack message node to send the message to the channel.”
“Probably most of my issues could be resolved with getting used to Teams and setting changes, but I always have trouble with it and have few issues with Slack.”
“Slack is probably the most undervalued platform right now. The new AI native business operating system and workflow is staring us all right in the face and it’s being ignored.”
“OMG I have a similar problem with old legacy Slack stuff everywhere and doesn’t do anything. Can’t for the life of me figure out how to do anything with Slack in Flow.”
“Hi there, looking to set up a basic notification in Slack when a Case is created. Can’t seem to figure out the best way to do this- I see there is a legacy app no longer supported, so I’m trying to use Service Cloud for Slack.”
“Alexandr Wang says $META made the wrong call choosing Google Chat less than a year ago, because AI agents have become so important that Slack’s agentic capabilities now outweigh $GOOGL Workspace integration.”
“Memo: Alexandr Wang says Meta is switching from Google Chat to Slack for internal communications as Slack is the "strongest platform available today for agents" (Business Insider)”
“Yeah....exactly why we left Slack....haven't looked back. If you're interested, happy to share who we went with, don't want it to come across as an ad.”
“I’m building a zero-retention Zendesk-to-Slack bridge because the current ones feel bloated. Would love your brutal feedback before I finish coding it.”
“It’s funny how people are concerned with security of their messages and data, and there are some who have asked Slack to be e2e encrypted. Yet they happily would use something like slackbridge and give access to their data to a vendor with no history, no offices, no privacy agreements that hold any value, nothing.”
“honestly for desk teams slack is hard to beat, the pain is usually the frontline half who never had it and just live in a whatsapp group. that mess is why we started Pebb (i work there) - chat, shifts, the boring stuff in one app, now 100k+ teams on it.”
“I don't think switching from Slack just to get another chat app is compelling enough to justify the migration pain. The stronger reason is if you can actually eliminate some of the separate tools around Slack at the same time.”
“But a lot of our motivations are to improve the overall experience, own our data, not be limited by Salesforce pricing and limits, etc... So more of our energies are going into that.”
“the rest goes through one registry, one row per long running job with its state, and slack or the dashboard just read from it instead of each keeping their own copy”
“We set up a slack channel for our non-profit group to communicate with. At first everyone was “wow, cool”, but within a few weeks everyone was back to using texts and emails.”
“Slack falls over because a message has no state. It's not pending or expired, it's just an old message, and the only person who knows whether it got dealt with is whoever happened to scroll past it.”
“One Slack channel centralizes the noise, not the approval. The thing to centralize is the decision record: exact action, payload hash, requester, approver, expiry, and result.”
“The workaround I've seen most often is "just pipe everything into one Slack channel" which sort of works until the channel becomes noise and people stop reading it.”
“If you’re not good at computing and prefer stagnant software that you update once every 3 years… I can imagine you’d not like Slack (or really any modern software).”
“It would be great if I can give a thread a topic or one or more tags, acknowledging the use case of a thread being a sub "channel". With this, when I'm scrolling through a few unread threads, the context of each unread is anchored by the topic/tag of the thread.”
