I participate in roughly two dozen different Slack workspaces. Half of them are a dozen or so friends; the other half are work-related. On all of those Slack teams, one of the biggest challenges we've found is making sure everyone has access to the information they need and feels encouraged to contribute. Slack comes built in with a lot of automations that can help, and you can extend them even further with Zapier. Here are some examples from my own experience that have helped my Slack workspaces feel more productive and inclusive. 1. Never miss out thanks to #new-channels Make Slack a more productive place to work Automate Slack In busier Slack teams, veterans and leaders alike may have a fear of missing out when there are new members and new channels and new projects constantly launching inside their Slack.
You can't read everything written in a busy Slack workspace, just like you can't listen to every phone call that comes into your company's support lines, but you can do things to help people stay up to date on AOB Directory new developments (in this case, channels). Setting this up is straightforward: Create a new channel in your Slack team called #new-channels. Use this Zap (you'll need a Zapier account, but you can get started for free if you don't have one). Going forward, whenever anyone creates a new public channel in your workspace, the name will appear in #new-channels. Notify your team whenever a new Slack channel is added Try it Slack Slack More details To get started with a Zap template—what we call our pre-made workflows—just click on the button.
It only takes a few minutes to set up. You can read more about setting up Zaps here. I've seen this feature enabled on a handful of Slack teams, and I love to check in once a week to see if there are any new hobby groups or projects launching that I want to participate in. It's a great low-stress way to stay up to date on the growth of your group. 2. Use Slackbot auto-responses for sharing the office WiFi password or other important reference info If your company still maintains an office and you have occasional guests, it's good to keep the office WiFi password handy for anyone that asks. The best part of Slackbot responses is that they're automatic and instant, so you'll get the answers fast no matter where you ask about the WiFi. Here's how to set it up: Load this Slack workspace page to add a new Slackbot response. Use the phrase "guest wifi" or "wifi password" to trigger your response that shares the password.
