Set Up Your Slack Profile – Make It Easy for Others to Find You

A complete profile helps your teammates and other agents know who you are and how to connect with you. Here’s how to set it up:

Right-click your icon at the bottom left and click Profile, then click the Edit button.
Do this in both the CFG and eXp Communities.
Make sure your name and email are correct on your profile too!

What to include:

Display Name & Full Name: Use your full name, not just your first name. This makes it much easier for others to find you when you post or chat.
Headshot: Use a clear, professional head-only photo of yourself — not just a logo. People relate better when they can see your face.
Title (eXp Community only): Include the areas you serve so agents can easily send referrals. Example: "Dallas, Plano, Allen, McKinney (North Texas DFW)" Then your name will show up as
Your Name - Dallas, Plano, Allen, McKinney (North Texas DFW)

🧠 BEST PRACTICES FOR SUCCESS

Channels – Conversations organized by topics, teams, or events
Threads – Keep conversations focused and easy to follow
Mentions – Use @name to notify someone directly
Files & Links – Easily share documents and media

Searchable History – Find everything you need—fast

Use threads to keep conversations tidy

Tag teammates using @name to notify them directly.
Be respectful and professional—Slack is your digital office
Add reactions (like a 👍 or ✅) to acknowledge messages without cluttering the feed.
Pin important messages and files to channels for future reference
Use Direct Messages (DMs) for one-on-one convos or small groups
Use the search bar at the top to find past discussions or files.

TIP: Editing & Deleiting messages - in the eXp Community, to edit a message, hover over your message and click the 3 dots, then click edit. To delete your message, click the 3 dots to Edit, then replace your text with a period (.) otherwise it will just strikethrough your message. There's no true deleting in the eXp community.

🔁 WHAT HAPPENS TO WORKPLACE

Workplace by Meta is being phased out. All eXp communication—including groups, announcements, and collaboration—is now in Slack.

Be sure to:

Save any important posts or documents from Workplace
Mute Workplace notifications if you're still active there temporarily
Embrace the transition—Slack will be the foundation for our future collaboration!
