Intro
Slack is a software company that provides a messaging and collaboration platform for teams to communicate and work together more efficiently. It allows team members to create channels for different topics, send direct messages to each other, and share files and documents. In addition, Slack integrates with many other tools and services that teams use, such as Google Drive, Trello, and Zoom.
To add emoji to Slack, simply type a colon (:) followed by the name of the emoji you want to use. Slack will show you a list of matching emoji options, and you can select the one you want by clicking on it or using the arrow keys to navigate and pressing enter. You can also create custom emoji by uploading an image and assigning a name to it. Custom emoji can be used in the same way as the built-in emoji. Emoji can add some fun and personality to your messages and make communication more expressive and engaging.
