Slack for announcements and feedback
If you're subscribed to announcement notification, you'll see notifications in Slack each time an announcement is published with the categories you're subscribed to.
If you have feedback notifications enabled in Slack, you'll see notifications in Slack any time feedback is submitted.
Here's an example of a Slack notification from a new announcement:
Within these notifications, you will see a "Discuss" button. This allows you to post the announcement into a channel of your choosing to start a conversation with your team members. If you're using Slack Connect to communicate with customers from outside of your org, you can also post these updates into those shared channels for discussion.
