Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video Getting notifications from Slack, part of Learning Slack (2015).
- We've been focused on how you communicate…with your colleagues and even with Slack through Slackbot.…I'd like to talk briefly with you about…how Slack communicates back with you,…and one primary way it does that is through notifications.…You will get notifications from Slack…if you are a member of multiple teams…and you're working in one team,…but there's activity in another…that you should be notified of.…You'll get notifications if you are online,…but you're using another program,…you're not in your browser.…

You can get notifications in email,…so when someone sends you a direct message,…
