About this course

Most teams adopt Slack and then drown in it. This course gives you a concrete operating model: a naming-convention channel taxonomy, notification settings that end after-hours pings, Slackbot responders, and Workflow Builder automations for standups, requests, and onboarding. Every lesson uses named features, real numbers, and worked examples you can copy on Monday.
