What is Slack Messenger ?

After Understanding about What is Slack Messenger let us explore more about features within it and some main functions of this application are here:

• Team and Workspaces: The Slack Workspace is a digital space created for a group of peoples. Here users can share all the data and communicate with each other. Administrators can create unlimited Slack Workspaces. Users can easily search all files, calls, messages, and colleagues in a single place via this. Its every workspace is independent but all are interrelated and administered by Slack’s Enterprise Grid.
• Channels : A Slack Workspace is integrated with channels. Where the channel is like a ‘room’ for communicating with relevant team members. For sending any message to channel users have to type @channel after that, write the content. Every channel can be administrated around departments, projects and office location and users can create many channels as per requirements. Each workspace starts with two default channels: #general and #random. In every Slack, there are three channels: Public Channel, Private Channel, Shared Channel (beta).
• Instant Messaging : When a user needs to send a message to a particular person instead of the group then, Slack offers a traditional direct messaging (DM) functionality. DM are the best ad-hoc for quick discussions. These conversations are visible to only the persons who are chatting in DM. Users can DM with only one person or they can start a group messaging with up to 8 other members. Communication in the Slack application happens through texts, whether they are channels or DMs. But, most of the discussion happens in public channels for a transparent teamwork.
• Search : Slack has a robust search function that allows users to find out the key information quickly. This is the way to narrow down the process of finding any data that is inside of a document. This search box is situated in the upper-right window of Slack. Users can simply enter the word or phrase they need to find out in the search box. Also, clients can use the number of modifiers for narrowing the results. Files, messages and all other data items can find out via this option.
• Notifications : Slack allows to focus on highest priorities via its notifications feature. It is just a Slack’s way to notify users about the data items, which are required to get user’s attention. Users can select desktops, mobile devices or emails for receiving the notifications. These alerts can be also customized via channel so that user can prioritize them wherever the attention goes. Users are allowed to fine-tune their notifications through channels, keywords and more.

Generally Slack is free. Users can browse and search their team’s 10,000 most new messages. It offers 5GB file storage space and 10 apps or custom integrations. Recently there are three pricing plans available: Free, Standard ($6.67/month) and Plus ($12.50/month).
