Message Templates for Chat Channels
P
Peter Georgatos
Currently, our team sends several standardized messages in Chat channels daily (e.g., Daily Standups, Weekly Handover reports, or specific Check-in checklists). Manually typing these out or copying/pasting them from an external Doc is a significant friction point and leads to inconsistent formatting.
I would like a native way to create and save Message Templates specifically for the Chat view.
Key Functionality:
Template Library: A place to store "Canned Responses" or snippets.
Quick Access: Use a slash command (e.g., /snippet or /msg) or a "Template" icon in the chat bar to insert the text instantly.
Dynamic Variables: Ideally, allow simple variables like @Today or @Me to populate automatically.
Formatting Support: Ensure the template preserves Markdown (bolding, lists, and dividers).
Why this matters:
This would bring Chat on par with Task descriptions and Docs, allowing teams to maintain a "Single Source of Truth" for communication styles without leaving the conversation.
