How to post a meeting summary in Slack, with examples
A summary posted right after a meeting saves the people who were not there, and settles what was decided. Lead with the decisions, then the owners, then the next date.

How it looks in Slack
Write the draft the way it comes out, in any language. Press the BetterSend button in the composer, pick a tone, and the draft is replaced before you send.
about the meeting today: we decided launch in november not october, marketing do the page, i do the emails, next meeting friday
Summary of today's launch meeting: - Launch moves from October to November. - Marketing owns the landing page. - I'll handle the launch emails. Next check-in is Friday. Reply in the thread if I missed anything.
What changed
Decisions and owners become a short list, each item starts with what changed, and the last line invites corrections in the thread instead of in the channel.
Do this inside Slack
The Slack app on Mac and Windows
The BetterSend desktop app puts its icon in the composer of the native Slack app. Double-click a message from a colleague to translate it or have it explained.
Slack in Chrome
The BetterSend extension adds an Improve button to the Slack composer, and Translate and Explain buttons under each message you receive.
Try it on your own draft
