How should I start a Slack message?

Aim to keep Slack messages friendly and to the point. 

It’s usually best to start with a greeting and make it clear who you’re addressing (especially if multiple people will receive your message). For example, you could write “Hi Team” or “@Sam.”

Next, briefly state the purpose of your message. If you’re asking for something, be clear but polite. 

If you find yourself spending a lot of time trying to write the perfect message, QuillBot’s free AI Slack message generator is a great way to capture the nuance you want without wasting precious time.
