Introduction
Here’s a rundown of all the commands you can use right away with the Slack chat tool.
To communicate more efficiently in Slack, there are concepts such as shortcut keys and commands. I think it will be very easy to use if you know how to use it more advanced.
About Slack
Slack is one of the fastest growing business chat tools out there.
Currently there are 500,000 daily active users in Japan, which is actually the second largest country in the world.
For Slack, here’s a list of tips you can use:.
What is the Slack command?
In Slack, there is a slash command that invokes a specific action. Some of these commands are included by default, while others can be new.
Slack’s rule is to put “/ (Slash)”, followed by a unique command
to enable various operations.
Anyway, basic rule is here
「/command」
For example
/who ：Display a list of people who are participating in the channel
First, post “/” in your chat room.
This alone can lead to command recommendations like this:.
