Slack Guide

Dear Activist,

Welcome to Dyrenes Alliance!

We’re glad you’ve joined us. As part of our team, we want to introduce you to our primary communications platform—Slack. You should have received an email invitation to join our Slack at dyrenesalliance.slack.com. If you haven’t received it, please contact us.

How to Use Slack:

  1. Accept the invitation: Open the email from us and click "Join now" to set up your account. You'll be prompted to create your username and password.

  2. Navigation: Once logged in, you'll see different "channels" listed on the left side of your screen. These are chat rooms for various topics. Click a channel to join.

  3. Join relevant channels: We encourage you to join channels that align with your work or interests. For example, if you're interested in our Free Fins campaign, consider joining the #friefinner channel.

  4. Introductions: We have an #introductions channel where all new members introduce themselves. Post a brief message about yourself, your interests, and what you aim to achieve as an activist.

  5. Messaging: Sending a message is as simple as typing in the text box at the bottom and pressing Enter. You can also reply to others’ messages to keep conversations organized.

  6. Private messages: Send private messages to individuals or groups by clicking the "+" icon next to 'Direct messages' on the left panel. Search for and select the person you want to message, then hit Enter.

  7. Uploading files: Click the paperclip or "+" icon in the message field to upload files. It’s a handy way to share documents or images.

  8. Notifications: Customize your notifications in settings so you only get alerts for important updates. You can also set yourself to 'Do Not Disturb' when you need to focus.

Why Using Slack Matters:

Slack is an invaluable tool for our work at Dyrenes Alliance. It enables us to communicate and collaborate across teams and projects, ensuring everyone has the information they need when they need it. Plus, Slack makes it easy to track conversations and topics, helping us stay effective and organized.

Being an active participant on our Slack is a vital part of being an activist with Dyrenes Alliance. It keeps you updated on the latest news, helps you connect with fellow activists, and strengthens our community.

Thank you for joining our team. We look forward to seeing you on Slack!

Best regards,
