Temporarily mute channels

When things get a little too chatty, temporarily mute a channel for an hour or until the next day.

Start your day with Today

Get up to speed on your most important work faster with Slack's personalized, AI-powered landing page (now in open beta). Sign up for the waitlist so you can get a bird's eye view of your meetings, action items, and conversation highlights in one place.

Reduce distractions with focus mode

Turn on focus mode for a quieter sidebar — no bolding, limited badging, and reduced notifications.

Manage Salesforce records with Slackbot

Let Slackbot take care of creating or updating Salesforce records for you. Slackbot can only access Salesforce data you have permissions for, and Slack admins and owners can decide which record actions Slackbot can take.

Other news in May

Slackbot can now read, create, and edit lists. You'll be able to review and approve changes, just like with canvas creation and editing.

It's a good day for getting things done with the Today view. Ask Slackbot for a peek into your day, check off your to-dos, prep for meetings, and get up to speed quickly.
