How It Helps Your Business English
Definitions of a Slack message, channels and private messages, then three kinds of message: announcements, group messages and direct messages. Four complete model messages follow, one for a large public channel, one for stakeholders on other teams, one for your own team and one for a first private message. Eight tips and a short question and answer section close the page.
You pick the model message closest to the reader you are writing to and follow its shape: the greeting, the context, the request and the closing line. Comparing the four models side by side shows you how the wording changes from an announcement to a request to a first message to someone new. The eight tips tell you when to use a thread, when to schedule a message and when an emoji answers better than a sentence.
