Making a channel#

A channel is one conversation about one piece of the work. Make one for each thing the team works on, and name it after the work, not after the people.

Make one#

  1. Press the + beside Channels in the rail.
  2. Name it after the work, like #incidents or #hiring.
  3. Choose whether anybody in the team can find it, or only the people you invite.
  4. Create it. You are in it already.

Bring people in#

Anybody in the team can join a public channel. Only the people you invite can read a private one, so a private channel is for a conversation that concerns a few people.

  1. Open the channel, and choose Invite people in its header.
  2. Pick the people you want, or paste the addresses of people who are not here yet.

You can leave a channel whenever you like, and the person who made it can archive it once its work is done.
