What makes Slack superior to emails?
Let us understand: How is Slack better than Email?️🦸♂️
The Email inboxes had their charm, but the changing work today demands more than the status quo, something like a digital HQ 🦸♂️ that works from anywhere, everywhere, and whenever required. ⚡
Email is not broken, it's limited 📤
When I say, email is not broken but it’s limited, I mean it has very limited capabilities in today’s changing work era and customer demands. Same way, even though landlines still work, we prefer to do everything on our Smartphones. It is not surprising because smartphones offer more capabilities and hence are a preferred choice by end users.
🌩️ Better Technology allows us to move faster, accomplish more and connect more easily. That’s exactly what Slack provides #️⃣, while the email inbox remains stuck in a cycle of refreshing and replying. ✉️
‘You can’t have a good conversation over email — it’s not quick enough. Coming together in Slack channels allows us to easily discuss day-to-day management topics. That’s invaluable.’ — says one of the Slack customers [Source: Slack.com]
What makes Slack superior to emails? 🚀
Slack isn’t just a tool for sending messages. It’s a place where workflows between all your teams, tools, customers, and partners — wherever and whenever you’re working. It offers so many benefits to users as below:
Transparency 👐
All content in Slack channels is searchable, so there’s no need to forward a lot of emails to the person joining your project. Onboard them to your existing Slack channels and they can see everything from the beginning.
Flexibility 🤗
File-sharing, calls, clips, and more are all built into Slack — along with real-time messaging. So you can truly work together however you work best.
Collaboration 👥
Slack brings internal and external teams together across locations, time zones, and working styles, instead of confining work to the siloed communication of email.
Security 🔐
Collaborating in email opens up the risk of spam and phishing. In Slack Connect, you can work securely with partners, vendors, or customers. Everything can be controlled by your Slack workspace admins.
Integration 💬
Connect over 2,400 apps to Slack — whether that’s your calendar or the tools that you use every day — and never forget an attachment again.
Automation 🤖
n Slack, you can turn routine meetings and tasks such as huddle meetings, approvals, and requests into automated workflows to save on the back-and-forth.
