This sounds disingenuous.
In order to 'link a message' in Slack, don't you have to find it first?
So the 'find and forward' email problem is half-shared there in either environment.
Forwarding an email is straightforward -- a single keypress in most email clients, then identify the recipient(s), who can be anyone with an email address.
I'm guessing that linking a message on Slack requires the recipients to have previously signed up and provided some personal information to Slack.com?
- simonw 7y agoYes, linking to messages in Slack only works for other co-workers with access to your Slack instance. I'm thinking in terms of internal-corporate-communication here. I link to Slack conversations all the time - from other Slack conversations, from JIRA tickets, even from some commit messages.
