Slack is a tool that enhances work group communications. It provides a platform for individuals and groups to chat live online and keep conversations organized and accessible from anywhere, anytime. Stanford Slack Grid, or Stanford Slack, is the enterprise version of Slack. It allows teams within Stanford to have separate, but connected, workspaces across the university.
The Slack Academy
With Stanford Slack it's easy to discover and join other workspaces that are central to your work, although some workspaces require approval to join. You'll also be able to send a direct message to almost anyone at Stanford.
Slack’s free mode limits app integrations to 10. This roadblock goes away in the paid plans, and businesses can take full advantage of Slack’s more than 2,400 app integration possibilities. Slack is a new way to communicate with your team. It’s faster, better organized, and more secure than email.
Slack apps: go beyond automation using APIs. Apps have access to the full scope of the platform, paving the way for more enhanced, custom, and powerful experiences in Slack. To make this magic happen, every Slack app has access to a bag of tricks — a range of APIs that provide access to read, write, and update all kinds of data in Slack. Slack, born from the ashes of his fantastical game, would lead a shift toward online productivity tools that fundamentally change the way people work. Slack is a young company, but it's already made a big splash. The workplace messaging service is the hot enterprise software solution and one of the most anticipated 2019 stock market debuts.
