Slack Channels

Slack is our super-focused communication platform (for getting shit done!). It’s a

desktop⁠

and mobile app, but it can also be used just in a browser but we highly recommend the desktop app.

We’ve put together this little guide for helping you get started with Slack and use it to its fullest.

⁠

Direct Mentions

Use @Persons-Name to directly mentions someone which makes it much easier for people to keep up with relevant conversations. This combined with “Threads” ensures you get the full context.

If you’re a really busy person who can’t keep up with all the messages, you can just use the “Mentions & reactions ” and “All DMs” in the left sidebar which makes it much easier to filter down to just what’s for you.

⁠

Threads

Threading on Slack is one of those habits that can make a huge difference for organization so I just wanted to give a quick tip that you can just press "T" to reply in a thread to a message.

⁠

“Saved Items” for Quick Tasks / Follow-ups

Use the ‘Saved Items” feature (”A” hotkey) to easily track the status of quick asks/tasks (5 min or less) in Slack that we don’t want to enter into clickup but ensure that they got done.

⁠

Prevent Slack from sending on "Enter"

To prevent Slack from sending on "Enter", (change it to Ctrl + Enter):

This is not the way.

Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (

CtrlP

) instead.
