Slack was supposedly created to kill email. This kind of screws that up.

@chrismessina this doesn't send ALL your email to Slack btw. You choose alerts for specific emails, domains, or keywords.
Niraj Pant
@chrismessina Or maybe it's a bridge to weaning off email?

@chrismessina Communications outside the company are still mostly via email. Or for at least those that are, I found this handy to immediately have emails distributed to channels that need to know or act on it.

@tedr @msg for the record, I was being facetious. 😑
Ryan Hoover
Awesome idea, @msg. A while ago I was looking for an app or way to send "real" important emails to my phone via push notifications, rather than every email I receive. Using this, one could create a channel in Slack with push enabled. Anything that's shared there, is delivered to your phone.

@rrhoover this is exactly how I use it
Jack Dweck
It's true — email isn't going away, at least not anytime soon. Slack is generally reserved for internal communication while email is still widely used for external communication. This bridges the gap quite nicely.

Seems helpful for dealing with those stuck in the 20th century. :) Would be neat if you could respond in Slack, but I'm not sure if the interface would support that very well.

@rawromg I've been testing out a solution for that. right now I provide a link to the original email so you can easily reply without checking your inbox
Michael 😍 Galpert
Thanks @chrismessina for posting. Lmk if anyone has any questions.

i wish sanebox emails would land straight in slack. i am sure there is a way?
Michael 😍 Galpert
@ourielohayon do your sanebox emails go to your inbox or another folder? I intentionally didnt want to have an entire inbox come into slack
Ouriel Ohayon
@msg inbox. and it s a solid filter of what matters to me already
Michael 😍 Galpert
@ourielohayon solid. I bet I can detect if you are sanebox user and then offer you the option. but I wouldnt want to turn this on for everybody
Ouriel Ohayon
@msg let the user decide with opt in.

Thanks for building this msg! Excited to play with it. Curious, you've built a couple products in the email / calendar management space now. How did your past experiences lead you to build this product?
Michael 😍 Galpert
@davidspinks it all stems from trying to remove unnecessary steps in people's lives. I used to have filters and IFTTT alerts in slack and was annoying to turn on and off these alerts. so I wanted to a way to simply add and remove them directly in slack. But the main motivation for building this was to better understand the Slack API :)
