This book is an easy read that provides straightforward instructions on best practices for using Slack in your organization. I found the chapter about how to automate workflow with Zapier quite helpful with concise instructions for integration. The book inspired me to explored how to integrate Slack into our e-commerce workflow. Thanks for the suggestion! I highly recommend this guide for learning how to making Slack work for you!

I use Slack on a daily basis but have always felt like I wasn’t leveraging it fully. The author, David, came along and changed that entirely. While Slack is easy to get started with, David shared huge time saving tips and automation hacks. I now use Slack internally and externally with 3 overseas developer teams. David’s tips have helped me create a calm, efficient, and productive communication tool so we can focus on the thing that matters—making our customers happy. I highly recommend this book for anyone getting starting with Slack or for those who have used it for years. If you want to enhance your team's productivity with Slack, look no further than this book.

I learned so much from David! He is truly a slack wiz kid. After successfully building two of the largest international slack communities, David's insights and expertise are bar none. I reached out to him immediately after reading this book to help manage the internal communication for one of my enterprise clients using slack.
