The Slack Add-On for Gmail helps you move conversations along by bringing context from an email into a Slack channel or direct message. You can add a message and include attachments along with the email as well.

When to send email into Slack:
 - Email chain getting too noisy? Send it into Slack where you can discuss quickly and move forward.
 - Have an idea you want to share with your team? Send it along to a relevant channel with a note about your insights.
 - Need to coordinate a response to a customer question? Flag your teammates in Slack and use the email content to set context.

How the Add-On works:
 - Start by installing the Slack for Gmail Add-On.
 - Open any email and click on the Slack icon in the right-hand side of your inbox.
 - Choose the channel or person you’d like to forward the email to inside of Slack.
 - Add a message and include attachments if you’d like.
 - Voilà! The email is forwarded into Slack where anyone in the channel or direct message you shared it to can see the email content and open attachments.
