Using the Slack App
What is Slack and Why Use it?
Slack, Inc., is a US-based company that provides team communication software. Slack was founded in 2009 by Stewart Butterfield and Eric Costello.

The idea behind the creation of Slack was to create a platform for teams to communicate without emailing each other constantly or using the telephone for long conversations.
