Slack: Inviting Users to a Channel in Maize & Blue

Environment

U-M Slack

Issue

I want to invite users to a channel in the Maize & Blue workspace. How do I do this?

Resolution

Eligible U-M users can be added to a channel in the Maize & Blue workspace:

  1. Open the channel to which you'd like to add people.
  2. Click the cluster of profile pictures in the top right.
  3. Click Add people.
    1. If you don't see the Add People icon, skip to step 4.
  4. To add a few people, search for the members you'd like to add by name or email address.
    1. To add a large group (like an MCommunity group), paste the list of names or email addresses into the field.
  5. Click Add when you are done.

If inviting a non-umich user as a single-channel guest, follow these instructions.

NOTE: If you invite someone who may be ineligible to use Slack, they will be unable to log in or join Maize & Blue. You will not receive any message indicating that an invitee is ineligible, so we recommend reviewing who is eligible to join the U-M instance of Slack. Slack Connect is not available in Maize & Blue.
