Register Slack: This is how you can join the online platform

Slack is a messenger especially for companies, with which you can log in quite easily. This practical tip shows you what you need and how to do it.

Sign in to Slack with an invitation

You can use the instant messenger service Slack either online from your computer or via app on your iOS or Android device.

• If you have been invited to a workspace by a member, registration is very easy. You will then have received an invitation email in which you only have to click on "Join now".
• If you don't have a Slack profile, you'll need to set one up next. Your full name is required to create the profile. You can set a password yourself. You confirm your information by clicking on "Next".

Registration without invitation

On the Slack online platform, you can either search for a Slack workspace to join or create a new workspace.

• To join a specific workspace, you need to know the so-called Slack URL. This always ends with ".slack.com". So the URL is something like "mycompany.slack.com"
• If your company has approved your email address to join a Slack workspace, you can create an account after entering the Slack URL.
• If you are an entrepreneur yourself, you must visit this website to create a workspace if you are not yet registered. You will need an email address for this. You will then be guided through the process.
