That's a great point. Looking at it again, maybe it's just the wording of the prompt that I don't like. For example, we have a #dev channel and it says:
Message dev
It doesn't quite register for me that the word "dev" is referring to the channel name - it's drowned out by the big word "Message".
And my first subconscious thought is that "Message" is being used as an adjective: are we talking about the "Message dev"? Who is that?
I think it would be helpful if the prompt used the standard notation for channel names:
Message #dev
But if I had a prompt like this I'd probably spell it out in full to avoid any confusion:
Send a message to #dev

- JasonSage 10y agoA private channel will look like Message dev But an org-wide channel will look like Message #dev
- Stratoscope 10y agoMystery solved, thanks! I was looking at a private channel. I didn't realize that private channels don't get #xyz shortcuts.
