Slack is expanding Slack Connect with direct message support so that users can send DMs outside of their organization.
After launching Slack Connect last year, Slack has announced that it will expand the service to allow users to securely connect with anyone outside of their organization with Slack Connect direct messages (DMs). Slack Connect is designed to replace email outside of one’s company as the service allows users to work with external organizations right from within its online collaboration software. In fact, up to 20 organizations can securely work together in the same space using the service and each side is able to maintain control over their organization’s data. Now though, Slack is expanding Slack Connect through direct messages which are available now but the company also plans to allow users to link together multiple organizations to create a private business network later this year.
