Slack Etiquette Tips

Here are some guidelines to think about when deciding to use @here or @channel.

@here Here is a funny article about cats

🚫 Ask yourself “is this timely?” No. An article on funny cats will be there tomorrow, but thx for interrupting my meeting.

@here Leaving for Bob’s going away happy hour in 15 mins 🍷

✅ This is a good use of @here

@channel Leaving for Bob’s going away happy hour in 15 mins 🍷

🚫 This notifies all members of a channel, even if they are away or on PTO

@channel Reminder: you MUST update your payroll info by COB today or you won’t get paid this week.

✅ This is a good use of @channel. This is very important information.

[if you’d like to share this in a channel that’s abusing @here or @channel, simply type !here or !channel to summon this response]
