by

Are you a new user on Slack? Are you looking to join a channel in a new workspace by using a link? No need to worry, we have you covered! This informative blog post will guide you through the process of joining a Slack channel using a link, in a step-by-step manner.

What is Slack?

For those who are new to the platform, Slack is a cloud-based team collaboration tool. It offers a way for teams to collaborate and communicate in real time, organizing conversations into channels. These channels can be created for a project, a team, a department, or any topic.

Joining a Slack Channel Using a Link

Before you can join a Slack channel with a link, you must first be a member of the Slack workspace where that channel is located. If you’re not, you’ll need to join the workspace before you can join the channel. Once you’re part of the workspace, follow these steps to join a channel using a link:

  1. First, you need to obtain the link to the channel you want to join. This link can be sent to you by a workspace administrator or another member of the channel.
  2. Once you have the link, click on it. This will open a new tab in your web browser and take you to the Slack workspace.
  3. If you’re not already logged in to Slack, you’ll be prompted to do so. Enter your workspace’s URL, and then your email address and password.
  4. After logging in, you’ll be taken directly to the channel. You’re now a member of that channel!

Joining a Slack Channel via the Slack App

If you’re using the Slack app, you can still join a channel with a link. The process is almost the same as described above:

  1. Tap on the link. This will open the Slack app on your device.
  2. If you’re not already logged in, you’ll be prompted to do so.
  3. Once logged in, you’ll be taken directly to the channel. You’re now a member of that channel!

Wrap Up

Joining a Slack channel with a link is as simple as that! Slack makes it easy to join channels and start collaborating with your team. If you’re new to Slack or just need a refresher, we hope this step-by-step guide has been helpful.
