## Email relays
There are [several special email addresses](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tE-NpNfw1icmU2MjYuBRib0VWBPVAdmq4NiCrpuI0F0/edit#) that automatically relay messages to the appropriate people in Fleet. Each email address meets a minimum response time ("Min RT"), expressed in business hours/days, and has a dedicated, directly responsible individual (DRI) who is responsible for reading and replying to emails sent to that address.

## Slack
At Fleet, we do not send internal emails to each other. Instead, we prefer to use [Slack](https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/remote-work-how-set-boundaries-when-office-your-house-lora-vaughn/) to communicate with other folks who work at Fleet.
We use threads in Slack as much as possible. Threads help limit noise for other people following the channel and reduce notification overload.
We configure our [working hours in Slack](https://slack.com/help/articles/360025054173-Set-up-Slack-for-work-hours-) to make sure everyone knows when they can get in touch with others.
### Key Slack channels
The following Slack channels are useful for every Fleetie:
| Slack channel | Purpose |
|:----------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------|
| `#general` | Read company-wide announcements.
| `#thanks` | Say thank you.
| `#random` | Be random.
### Slack channel prefixes
- We have specific channels for various topics, but we also have more general channels for the teams at Fleet.

* ***at*** or ***fleet-at***: for customer channels.
* ***2023-***: for temporary channels _(Note: specify the relevant year in four digits, like "YYYY-`)_
#### Slack communications and best practices
In consideration of our team, Fleet avoids using global tags in channels (i.e. @here, @channel, etc).
1. What about polls? Good question, Fleeties are asked to post their poll in the channel and @mention the teammates they would like to hear from.
2. Why does this matter? Great question! The Fleet [culture](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#culture) is pretty simple: think of others, and remember the company [Values](https://fleetdm.com/handbook/company#values).
