When someone mentions a task or message that needs attention, hover over the message and click the save icon. You can use the “save” mechanism to build a to-do list. Build to-do lists by using saved messages Slack doesn’t have to be a source of stress, and anyone who uses business chat can experiment with some of these approaches. I put the following list together, which is now part of our onboarding process. As we’ve grown, it’s helped us stay connected across more than 40 cities around the world.Ī few people in the company, however, have come to me with stories of restless nights and checking their phones before breakfast.

When I joined Help Scout, I insisted we embrace Slack.

I was an early adopter of Slack, and I’ve been a vocal advocate for it.
