[civsa] Slack Channels

[Blair, Taylor]

Hi Kirsten and others,

We use the following:
#general: Mainly shift coverage if the shift request was managed in their House channel.
#urgent: I only require the team to have push notifications for this specific channel. But most also subscribe for push notifications in #general.
#random: Because we all know our students have some very random things they like to share with each other.

Private House channels (#gryffindor, #hufflepuff, etc.): We use a Harry Potter-style House system among our team. Each House gets a private channel to communicate with each other. Because they get points for picking up coverage, most work to get coverage within their House first (so another House doesn't get points.

We use the Slack system in coordination with WhenToWork.com for scheduling.

Hope this helps!

Taylor

Hi Kirsten,

I've found that simpler is better. We have the required #general chat and then use the following:

#announcements (aka what would have been an email)
#subrequests (shift changes)
#asktodd (if they have a question about anything, I respond here for all to see)

And then each group/team (our ambassadors have teams) has their own team channel. I have also created a "newbies" channel from time to time for all new hires to be a part of until they've been taken into a team.

Best,
Todd

Hi everyone,

For those who are using Slack for communication with your ambassadors I'm wondering if you would be willing to share how you structure the channels, particularly around shift change requests and confirmations.

Thanks!
Kirsten
