Slack has talked of its high expectations for group chat channels, which it argues will replace email as the primary means of workplace communication by 2025.
While channels are becoming a popular method for internal communication, Slack also wants to push them as way to interact with external companies – and stakeholders, too.
With that in mind, the team messaging company has expanded its shared channel feature – unveiled as a beta trial at its first conference in September last year – to enable private conversations between workers at separate organizations. A third of its paying users have now signed up for the beta, Slack said.
