What are Channels?

Chat Channels are dedicated communication areas for your team. You can create Channels for different organizations, teams, squads, or releases.

The way you organize your Channels is up to you and how your team collaborates best.

Feature availability and limits vary by plan and user role. Learn more

Location-based Channels

In addition to new Channels you create, there is one Channel associated with each Space, Folder, and List in your Workspace. These location-based Channels function differently from the rest of your Channels.

Location-based Channels display their location under their name.

When changes are made to location-based Channels, their Space, Folder, or List is also updated.

The following actions update both the Channel and its Hierarchy location:

  • Adding people to a Channel will also add them to the Space, Folder, or List and give them access to everything that's public at that location. When a Channel's sharing and permissions are updated, their related Space, Folder, or List sharing and permissions are also updated.
  • Making a Channel private will also make the Space, Folder, or List private.
  • Renaming a Space, Folder, or List will also rename the Channel.
  • Deleting a Space, Folder, or List will also delete its Channel and all messages in it.

Limited members and limited members view only can request full edit permissions for locations that have been shared with them.
