Users could send an invite to any partner and start messaging as soon as it is accepted, the company said in a blog post. (bit.ly\/2OW1G1f)<\/p>\n<p>After rolling out the feature, Slack received feedback from users about how email invitations to use the feature could potentially be used to send abusive or harassing messages, Jonathan Prince, vice president of communications and policy at Slack, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe made a mistake in this initial roll-out,\u201d Prince added.<\/p>\n<p>The company, which is being acquired by Salesforce.com Inc, said it would be removing the ability to customize a message when a user invites someone to Slack Connect direct messages to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>As companies around the world shift to working from home due to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for services provided by Slack and Microsoft Corp\u2019s Teams have gained traction as offices conduct meetings remotely.<\/p>\n<p>Slack said on Wednesday it planned to soon expand the direct message invitations feature to all teams, including those on free subscriptions.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/article\/us-slack-direct-messaging\/slack-to-fix-error-in-new-direct-messaging-feature-over-harassment-concerns-idUSKBN2BG35S\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FILE PHOTO: The Slack Technologies Inc. logo is seen on a display on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) during the company&#8217;s [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":110465,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
