Slack

Slack is a messaging app for business that connects people to the information they need. By bringing people together to work as one unified team, Slack transforms the way organizations communicate. It is for teams and workplaces which can be used across multiple devices and platforms, providing robust features that allow chatting one-on-one with associates and in groups. In Slack, your organization is called a “workspace” and is divided into “channels“. These are separate group chats with their own members and topics. In these channels, you can send messages, images, internet links, videos, and more, making communication between employees seamless, and replace many of the functions that email once dominated. There are also direct messages, which let you chat with one or several people privately without anyone else being able to join.
