Creating a collaboration channel on Slack
AWS Partners can request collaboration on select strategic, high-value opportunities that require AWS co-sell support. The eligible opportunity must be at the Qualified stage or higher. Once approved, the partner will receive an email notification with an invitation to join the designated Slack channel.
To submit a collaboration request:
-
Sign in to AWS Partner Central.
-
Choose Sell from the top navigation, and then choose Opportunity Management.
-
From Opportunities, choose the Opportunity ID to view details.
-
From the opportunity details page, choose the Collaboration channels tab.
-
Choose Request a Slack channel.
-
Select users to add to the channel, and then choose Add to channel.
Once you have submitted the request, you can view the channel's status and details, including invited partner contacts and their invitation status.
When a collaboration request is submitted, the AWS account manager for the opportunity is notified. The account manager then creates the Slack channel, adding the selected contacts and other relevant opportunity team members. Once the channel is created, an email invitation is sent to all invited parties.
To accept the invitation:
-
From the email invitation, choose Get started. Slack will open in your browser.
-
Select the organization associated with your invitation. The email you use for Slack must match the one used for your AWS Partner Central account.
-
Choose the Slack workspace that you'd like to use to join the channel.
-
Choose Join channel.
Opting out and leaving a channel:
-
Partners can opt out of future Slack invitations by selecting Opt-out of all invites from the first pinned message in the channel.
-
To leave a channel, choose the channel name in the conversation header to see channel information. Then, choose Leave channel from the channel options. Alternatively, you can choose Leave channel from the first pinned message.
