We won’t give anybody, including Slack, your email address. You can switch it to be more direct if you like (they didn’t used to have that), but if not, it will work just fine with the pretend chat email address instead. The chat address allows some privacy conscious folks to maintain a layer of separation while continuing to be able to contribute. So even if you use the same email address on multiple Slacks, it’s not a shared account between them, each one is separate and individual to that unique Slack. Each instance is separate from all the rest. There is no such thing as “one account” for Slack. please contact us by sending an email to. The thing is, Slack accounts are not universal in the first place. The Julia Language has an active Slack workspace/community with over 10,000 members. That chat email address will only work for emails from Slack (so it cannot be used to spam you), and it will forward messages to whatever email account you have listed here on (meaning that you don’t have to give Slack your real email if you do not want to do so).Įxception: The chat email address will also work for Gravatar, if you want to claim it and assign it a profile picture on that service.

But that first time must be using the chat address. You can change the email on Slack to your real one, if you like, after you login the first time. When you are first invited, you must login using the email address that it gave you. You cannot use your normal email address to enter.
