Using Slack DMs for Partnership Support via Slack Connect
How can Slack Direct Messages be used for partnership support via Slack Connect?
Slack Direct Messages can be used for partnership support by creating a Slack Connect channel with the dedicated handle and inviting partners or contractors to collaborate. This setup is ideal for customer onboarding, premium support, or marketing collaborations.
Once the connection is established, partners can directly message the handle, and these messages will be managed in Zendesk. User profiles are automatically created for end users who send direct messages, and you can gain insights into these collaborations using Zendesk Explore reports.
