Does Slack notify when I forward a message?

When you forward a message in Slack, the platform does not send a notification to the original sender of the message.

However, the forwarded message will still contain the original sender's name and any context from the original conversation.

This means that the recipient of the forwarded message will know who originally sent it and the context in which it was sent.

Here are a few tips to consider when forwarding messages in Slack:

  • Check the content: Make sure the message is suitable for the person or group you are forwarding it to.
  • Maintain context: Ensure that the forwarded message includes enough context for the recipient to understand its relevance.
  • Respect privacy: Be cautious about forwarding messages that contain personal or sensitive information.
