Tips for boosting productivity with Slack

Use Shared Channels for external projects

Shared channels are the best option for encouraging more agile communication with agencies, partners, clients, etc. In my personal opinion, email is no longer the most optimal way for quick communication. I always tend to invite people with whom we work on a project to a shared channel on Slack.  That way, we can immediately resolve any blocking points and share updates directly with each other. You can learn more about how Slack Connect works here.

Channel tips

  • It’s a big temptation to get carried away and start creating too many channels in your workspace. Once in a while, make sure you do a “channel clean-up” in order to delete all those that are not used anymore. 
  • Make sure the conversation in each channel is focused and does not get carried away. This way, you avoid spending too much time trying to read all the unread messages or risk missing something urgent. Sometimes, it’s better to put some “light rules” in a channel in order to ensure efficient use of Slack channels with the rest of the team.
  • Channel names help team members immediately find the channel they need. Make sure the channels in your Slack workspace represent the actual function of it and that there is consistency for naming them.
  • As with everything, there are some channels that are more important than others. You can “star” the most important ones so that you can more easily access them under the section “Starred.”

Make use of Slack apps

There are plenty of apps to integrate with Slack, and lucky for us marketers, there is a whole category in the Slack App Directory dedicated to Marketing Apps. Explore the tools that you have at your disposal, and start using different apps to automate some of your day-to-day tasks.

Pull your data into public channels

Using the help of Slack integrations and workflows, you can automate the sending of data directly into public channels where the managers and other marketing team members can see the progress and updates of specific actions. For example, in my team, we configured automatic messages for any changes in the positioning of our apps in the marketplace, notifications when a user leaves us a new review, and so on.
