Tips for creating channels
-
It's often best to start with just a few channels, and add more as needed. For small teams, you can start with the default channels and go from there.
-
A channel's name can be in any language, and can include spaces, punctuation, and Unicode emoji. For large organizations, we recommend using a consistent naming scheme, like
#marketing/<name>or#mk/<name>for all channels pertaining to the marketing team,#help/<team name>for<team name>'s internal support channel, etc. -
You can pin reference information, such as important messages or topics, and external references, in the description for a channel.
-
For open source projects or other volunteer organizations, consider adding default channels like #announce for announcements, #new members for new members to introduce themselves and be welcomed, and #help so that there's a clear place users stopping by with just a single question can post.
