You can use this channel to share information relating to your entire organisation, such as company excursions or good news that provides extra motivation.
- The public channels increase transparency. All users can view and join a public channel, thereby ensuring that everyone involved in a project, a topic or a team has access to the same information.
- The private channels allow sensitive content to be limited to the users of your choice. Only an existing member can invite another user to join a private channel.
- The personal messages are direct conversations between two or more people which take place outside the channels. Each user within an organisation is free to create personal messages with content that will only be visible to the people concerned.
