Not a single messenger today can do without Emoji, and Slack is no exception. You can find emoji by clicking on the smiley face in the message box. If you remember their code name, you can type it and they will automatically appear in the message. For example: :taco:, :tada:, :pizza:, etc. - quite handy!



If you feel like using a popular shrug emoji type the /shrug [your message] command and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ will appear at the end of your message.



Reactions are just like emoji in shape, but they are used as a way to respond to a message without words. That is, they get attached to the message and the number of reactions is counted - this is what makes them different from ordinary emoji.



How to add a reaction?

• Mouse over a message and click the Add a reaction icon

• Choose an Emoji

• Done! Now your reaction will appear under another person's message.



To see who has responded, mouse over a particular reaction. Removing the reaction is also easy - just click on it again and it will disappear.
