Using Matter with Slack Connect

Matter works with Slack Connect. Each external organization must set Slack's Email Display to include people from external organizations they connect to.

Written by Sam Lepak

Matter is 100% compatible with Slack Connect, enabling Matter to work with people outside of your organization. Typically, only one key requirement is necessary.

Who can use this: Workspace Owners and Admins on every plan. Slack only.

For an overview of the whole feature, read the Matter setup and rollout guide for Slack.
