If you're looking to ensure there's a seat for your guest this can all be done through a single channel guest invite!


What is Slack Single Channel Guest?

A single-channel guest invitation is a great way of inviting a guest to join you for a day or a week in your office.

The access is limited to just one channel, so you don’t have to worry about them seeing details from other parts of your organization.

You can even add a time limit on their accounts if it’s a short-term project/visit.
​



How to Invite a Guest

Part 1: Create a Channel for Guests

If you'd like to invite your guests to a new channel then you'll need to create a channel for them. To create a channel just head to Slack:

Click on the down-facing arrow > Create > Create channel
​
​

Name the channel ie guests

Ensure the channel is private

Click on create and head to part 2.


Part 2: Invite the guest to your Workspace

  1. Click on your workspace name (it's in the top left)
    ​


2. Click on Invite people to [workspace name]


3. Enter the email address of the guest that you'd like to invite



4. If you're a workspace owner or admin, click the drop-down menu to choose whether you'd like to invite members or guests
