One of the best ideas I’ve heard for having Slack without the pressure to keep up with it is to configure it to delete messages after a short time period. This lets you keep the live chat going with those who are around, but people know to put important notices they want others to read into some other outlet.
- toddmorey 3y agoOh that’s very smart & as a bonus, the free plan does exactly that (only 30-day history)
- greazy 3y agoIt's actually 90 days of searchable history. https://slack.com/pricing/free https://slack.com/pricing/free
- shahflow 3y agoSome larger companies are doing this with their chats (though for longer than 30 days) and it has forced people to put more things in docs. Unfortunately, the docs aren't easy to find later either.
- stevage 3y agoYeah it's a weird benefit of the free plan for low traffic teams. You can't use slack as the primary communication because some people may never see it.
