Enter /clear in any Slack channel to get rid of all messages and clutter. Channel Tools actually doesn't delete these messages. It creates a new message with enough empty lines that all the content gets pushed upwards, giving you a lot of breathing space. Think of it as ⌘ + K of the Slack world.

Example use case could be to assign a support ticket randomly to one of the staff members in the support channel. FAQ Q: Is Channel Tools free?

We store only the required data for the functioning of the app and store it using robust encryption algorithms. You are safe with us. Q: Can I use Channel Tools to invite external users? A: Yes, but with limited support. You can invite users from a channel shared with a different workspace in the same organization (enterprise grid plan). With the caveat, that current channel also needs to be shared with the same workspace before extending this invite. We might bake more features in our future release.

Earlier, what took me an hour to do, with Channel Tools we can do it in seconds. The channel invite feature is so useful that it should have been a part of Slack itself.
