SLACK APPLICATION

The Slack application is a messaging app. It is very used in research institutes groups or companies. Using it we can send messages to individuals, but also to groups of people (#channels).

·      PDF

·      Word documents

·      PowerPoint Presentations

·      Excel file

·      Videos….

Why it is better than WhatsApp?

It is better for professional groups because there is a higher level of organization. We can use threads to reply to a specific message and person.
