Effective Slack channel management is essential for managing more users and Slack channels for efficient support. As your team grows, adding ClearFeed to each channel and sending instructions to new members on how to use the channel to get support becomes arduous and challenging.

Recognizing the challenges and needs of our customers, we are thrilled to introduce two powerful new features to enhance channel management in Slack: Welcome Messages and Auto-add ClearFeed to new channels. 

These enhancements are designed to streamline your workflows, expedite onboarding, and significantly lighten the load on your Support teams, empowering them to deliver swift and effective resolutions. Let’s dive deep into how you can utilize these features for efficient channel management in Slack.

1. Welcome Users With Tailored Messages 

When new customers join a Slack channel, it’s essential to guide them on how to use the channel for support effectively. ClearFeed’s Welcome Messages feature helps your support team deliver consistent onboarding messages, ensuring that new members understand how to interact with your support team from the start. 

Whether it’s informing them about your support hours, instructing them to use specific emojis like the :ticket: emoji to request support, or directing them to important documentation, this feature sets clear expectations and streamlines communication right from the beginning.

2. Automatically Add ClearFeed to New Slack Connect Channels

As your organization scales, manually keeping track of and managing every new Slack Connect channel can quickly become overwhelming. Automatically adding ClearFeed to new Slack channels streamlines this process by ensuring that every new channel is instantly monitored, giving you complete visibility and control without the hassle. This feature helps prevent important channels from slipping through the cracks, keeping your support operations running smoothly.

How it works

Enter the regex that determines the naming pattern of your channels, and ClearFeed can start monitoring the channel under the Collection where this setting is applied as soon as these channels turn into Slack-connect channels.

Please note that this feature has yet to be available in the UI. Please contact our Support team to enable it.
