How to make the most of this channel

To ensure you stay connected without feeling overwhelmed make sure you do the following:

  1. Set notifications to "All Messages": Since posts in this channel are carefully curated and posted only when important, we recommend keeping notifications enabled so you don't miss live event invites or limited-time perks.
  2. Engage in threads: While only the Mentors CX Team can post new main messages in this channel, discussion is always encouraged! Use thread replies to ask questions about new features, share excitement, or RSVP for events.
  3. Use emoji reactions: Drop an emoji reaction on posts to let the team know what updates or upcoming events resonate most with you.

Applicable community guidelines for #announcements

To ensure this broadcast channel remains clear and informative, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

1. Mentors CX community vault & golden threads

  • Preserving top insights: Mentors CX periodically recognizes exceptional community discussions as Golden Threads. Selected conversations may be summarized and preserved in the members-only Mentors CX Community Vault so valuable knowledge isn't lost when Slack history expires.
  • Attribution & privacy: We will always ask for permission before publicly attributing or directly quoting an identifiable member outside of Slack. You may also request that your contribution be anonymized or excluded from a Community Vault entry.

2. Protect sensitive information & respect privacy

  • Keep internal announcements internal: Do not copy, screenshot, or republish unreleased product updates, internal roadmap news, or private event links outside the community without prior permission.

3. Keep discussions in threads

  • Avoid overstuffing the channel: Keep main posts clear and clutter-free by using thread replies.
