4. Reply
There are situations where a discussion is not required on a message and just a single reply would suffice the purpose. Don’t increase chaos by creating multiple threads even when not required. Just reply to that specific message so the receiver knows the context of your reply even when it gets lost in continuous conversations.
5. Thread
Often the DM/channel gets flooded with the discussion on a particular message and other messages either get ignored or creates havoc in the chat. Creating a thread on a message allows you to keep the discussion organized and retain the original context. Your workspace looks clean making it easier for replying, reading, and searching.
6. Mute notifications
Not all the messages from all the conversations are worth your attention every time. While you need to focus on working on something important, you can mute notifications that distract you. Then, you won't be bothered by any notifications from that chat unless you are mentioned explicitly.
7. User groups
Create groups for people working on the same thing and avoid the effort to add them individually every time. All of them can be added, mentioned, and notified with a single click by using the group name.
