Slack today aounced a couple of new features that will enable organizations to easily coect with people in external organizations. First, Slack Coect Direct Messages feature is now generally available. Slack paid teams can initiate DM invitations to anyone outside their organization. Second, Slack will allow organizations to link together multiple organizations to create a private business network, allowing for unified directories, chael discovery and more. Find the details below.
Slack Coect DMs:
Simply send an invite to any partner, and start messaging in Slack as soon as the other side accepts, speeding up the work that often starts over back-and-forth emails.
Protections from phishing attacks:
To further prevent phishing scams and spam, we’re building industry-standard malware protection and link scaing, where malicious activity is automatically prevented.
Slack Coect Policies:
Admins can already designate which users or which workspaces have access to Slack Coect. Soon, admins will also be able to restrict the behaviours of members from partner organisations, such as inviting others and installing apps.
Slack private business network:
In the near future, two or more organisations will be able to create a private business network using Slack Coect. These networks will allow for unified directories, direct messaging, chael discovery and shared applications.
