No, you don't.
- user5994461 9y agoThey do and they make sure of it by not having any way to stop notifications.
- kekebo 9y agoHaving it closed and only replying when I get a notification email for unread messages works quite well for me (if you know how to limit your email checking). Same as donkeyd's comment I've communicated this to my clients and they've adjusted and it's a non-problem.
- IanCal 9y agoSeems like they let you turn off all notifications: https://imgur.com/a/nLePu https://imgur.com/a/nLePu I'm fairly sure you can set do-not-disturb times as well.
- mcintyre1994 9y agoWhen you open preferences, Notifications is the top pane. Literally the top notification option is "Notify me about..." and an option is Nothing. In what sense can't you stop notifications?
- user5994461 9y agoWell, must be new since last year.
- yuchi 9y agoHas always been there.
- evrydayhustling 9y agoIt's not. Here's a still relevant medium post from 2014 about setting things up: https://medium.com/@shawnzvinis/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-slack-and-avoid-distractions-f2e752484004 https://medium.com/@shawnzvinis/how-to-get-the-most-out-of-s... . It's fair to be frustrated by defaults or how your org uses Slack (or any other tool), but these discussions often cross the line to FUD by exaggerating annoyances.
- user5994461 9y agoCan you envision that it didn't work as intended and that it was missing on mobile? Thank you.
- chrisweekly 9y agoincorrect! /dnd, per-channel notif muting, and "away" status combine for reasonably fine-grained control
- smoyer 9y agoI only use Slack's web client and I explicitly don't give it the ability to raise desk-top notifications.
