The messaging app Slack is quickly becoming the main tool many companies use to communicate, and it's easy to see why.

You can chat with other employees individually, create channels for multiple people (think chat rooms), and continue the conversation from just about any device. Everything is archived and searchable, so it's easy to find old conversations. 

Slack also integrates with dozens of other services, including Google Calendar, the GIF database Giphy, and todo apps like Wunderlist.

With 1.1 million daily active users and 300,000 paid subscribers, it's clear that Slack is doing something right.

Whether you're new to Slack or have been using it since it launched nearly two years ago, here are some killer tips and tricks to help you get the most out of the service.
