This has actually been difficult for some people to get used to, since they much preferred synchronous communication (calls) or drip feeding information (what they need, spread over multiple messages, starting out with a simple "hey").
I actually made a site a while back to elaborate on how to make others do context switching a bit less often, maybe it's helpful to some here: https://quick-answers.kronis.dev/ https://quick-answers.kronis.dev/
(the other guides that I found online about this had a bit of a mocking tone)
Of course, there are also times when you do need a bit of synchronous communication too, which is also fine.
