Slack connects with all your favorite tools, like GitHub, Jenkins, Jira, PagerDuty and more.
Slack is popular among developers for a reason: it makes their work simpler and more productive. They can choose whatever tools they like for deploys, testing, etc, and integrate them into Slack. This increases the value of their existing tech stack, and centralizes team discussions.
Slack is infinitely customizable: bots, workflows, and apps mean each team can configure Slack to fit its own development cycle. Find out more reasons why engineering teams love Slack.
Adding a bot to Slack is a smart way to boost team productivity. Bots can be added by going to the Slack Marketplace and installing them to your workspace (you may need an admin to do this). Or you can create your own custom bots. Here’s more about what bots can do and how to use them.
Slack allows global teams to choose the region where certain types of data at rest are stored. Currently Slack offers data residency in six regions: Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Japan and the U.K. Learn more about how data residency works at Slack.
A Slack workspace is a shared hub made up of channels where team members can communicate and work together. You can join as many workspaces as you’d like.
Slack admins can set permissions for who is allowed to join a workspace and what files and messages they can access. They can also choose which bots or apps are installed. Learn more about getting started with Slack workspaces.
