Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Urgent communication channels

[Kris Robinson Staveley (krstaveley]

David,

This sounds perfect but I don't see this functionality built into Slack so
I'm guessing that you must be using an addon integration. All I found with
a quick look was integrations that send individual texts, not to everyone
in a channel.

Do you know which integration you are using for this?

Thanks, Kris
