Acquiring Astro: Unlocking Email Interoperability with Slack

As we continue to strive towards making collaboration easier and more productive, we've taken a significant step forward by acquiring Astro, a company renowned for its expertise in email infrastructure. This strategic move enables us to make it simpler and more powerful for teams to seamlessly integrate their email conversations into Slack.

Our ultimate goal is to empower teams to shift their discussions to where they can be most effective – within a channel, alongside relevant context and software tools that are essential to their workflow. To achieve this, we've been working on integrating email into Slack, but the acquisition of Astro takes us to a whole new level.

Every day, billions of emails are sent, containing millions of documents exchanged, contracts negotiated, and decisions recorded. In today's fast-paced business world, channels have become the hub where work is conducted by teams globally. While we recognize that email remains an essential tool in business communication, we believe that what makes channels so powerful is a thriving platform that brings together conversations, files, and best-of-breed software tools into one streamlined hub for collaboration.

With Astro's expertise and our own technology, we're poised to make interoperability between email and Slack much simpler and more powerful. This development has significant implications for businesses worldwide, enabling them to streamline their communication processes and boost productivity.
