I apply this the reverse way too. Is this message I am sending important enough that I would call them to tell or ask the same thing?

  The whole point of sending a message instead of calling them is the expectation that they will look at it and respond at a later time when it doesn't disturb them. If it were urgent, I'd call.

    We use email for that. Besides, if the intention is for Slack to be as async as email, then why do we need to have notifcations and plings and red badges?

      Oh, that's basically stopped where I am. That's for official things that you need to be able to find back later, and for external people.
