Here are some useful Slack tips to improve your team communication and channel management.
Adding Members from Source to Destination Channel
When you need to move or copy members from one channel to another, here’s a quick way to do it:
- In the source channel: Use
/who
command to get a list of all members - Copy the member list from the output
- In the destination channel: Use
/invite
followed by pasting the member list
This saves you from manually typing each username and ensures you don’t miss anyone when setting up new channels or reorganizing your workspace.
Example:
# In source channel
/who
# Copy the usernames from the output, then in destination channel
/invite @user1 @user2 @user3 @user4
This tip is especially useful when: - Creating project-specific channels from larger teams - Setting up temporary channels for events or sprints - Reorganizing team structures - Onboarding new team members to multiple relevant channels
