Makes correspondence summaries and finds the messages on which the answer in Slack is based.
Return to conversation after the shift
In the working channel for the day there are messages about several tasks. Some of the answers remain inside the branches, so unread messages and decisions quickly diverge. Slack AI can compile a brief summary of the channel or a separate branch. For a question on correspondence, a search is provided indicating the messages on which the answer is based.
The summary includes materials from the available context. If the team discussed part of the issue in a closed channel, the participant without access will need confirmation from a colleague.
Verification of communications
Imagine that on Friday support for the new format was offered to launch on Monday. After discussion, it turned out that first you need to check the two input files. Ask for a summary of this branch. Find who suggested the date and open the message that describes the outcome. So you can separate the original version from the condition on which the team stopped.
For a shared channel, select the period that covers your pass, if this option is available. When the task is reduced to one controversial decision, it is more useful to open a specific branch and check it completely.
When chat sees only part of the story
The functions of Slack AI differ according to plans. The official guide lists which summaries and search options are available at each level. After receiving the answer, go to the source before transferring the information to the document for another command. The message could be edited, and the recipients of the document may not have access to the quote.
