What is Slack Guide and How Do I Use It for My Team?

Guide for Slack: Here at Small Business Trends, we’ve seen online collaboration apps come and go, but few have caught fire like Guide for Slack. So, if you’re asking yourself, “What is Slack Guide and how do I use it for my team?” Slack Guide is an instant messaging and collaboration system on steroids:

The innovative “team communication” solution offers groundbreaking functionality that is just too useful to pass up.

Slack Guide channels help you focus by enabling you to separate messages, discussions and notifications by purpose, department or topic:

If you need privacy, Slack Guide provides that as well with invite-only channels

When you need to send a message to one person instead of a group, Slack Guide provides traditional instant messaging functionality for you to do so.

Sharing documents is one of the basics of collaboration. Slack Guide enables you to share all types of files, even those stored outside of the solution itself.

Notifications can be a tricky feature: too many and you start ignoring them; too few and something might slip through the cracks. Slack Guide enables you to fine-tune your notifications (by channel, keywords and more) so you can focus on your highest priorities.

Slack Guide provides robust preference features at both the company and individual level. This enables your employees to make Slack Guide their own while you control the overall use of the solution.

No matter where you go, Slack Guide can come with you with their mobile apps for iOS, Android and Windows Phone (beta).

Integration is what takes Slack Guide from a normal online instant messaging and collaboration system to a solution that enables you to centralize all your notifications, from sales to tech support, social media and more, into one searchable place where your team can discuss and take action on each.

You can use both IFṪṪṪ recipes and Zopier zops to integrate Slack Guide with many more systems and solutions. Currently, there are over 500 ways to extend your Slack Guide integrations. We’ll discuss these further in a bit.
