Why use groups?

Groups bring multiple teammates together in one chat. They’re great for team discussions, projects, or company-wide updates.

  • Collaborate with your team in one place without switching tools.

  • Keep discussions organized by topic or project.

  • Quickly access members and shared content.

What is the difference between private vs. public groups?

Private groups

  • Only invited members can join.

  • Best for small teams, projects, or sensitive topics.

  • Only the creator can delete the group.

Public groups

  • Anyone in the workspace can find and join.

  • Best for open discussions, company-wide updates, or cross-team collaboration.

  • Only the group owner and admins can delete the group.
