Summary

Analyze keywords

#Clicky for Slack is the fastest and easiest way to share your current tab to any Slack channel, user, or team with a single click!

Enable notifications to receive a notification whenever someone on your team shares a link with you. Click on the notification to instantly open the link in a new tab.

Customize #Clicky with multiple themes and even a Dark Mode!

I believe your privacy is of utmost importance. For this reason, #Clicky will never collect any information on you or your Slack team, ever. See the Privacy Policy for more information.

FAQ:

• Why does #Clicky request the permissions it does?

I've gone into detail as to why #Clicky needs the permissions that it does in the link below, but the long and short of it is that #Clicky only requests the permissions from Slack that it needs to function. Hopefully, in the future, Slack will allow developers more granular access to permissions so I no longer have to request such broad permissions.

It takes over 5% of CPU on i7 all the time even on empty TAB!!! Seems to be really BITCOIN work. I cannot recommmed this extension. This is not true that the older version has a bug. I'm using the newest one and still the issues with CPU usage! I've been using that extension for over one year. I feel cheated!!!

Pretty good! We had designed an incoming webhook for Slack but it wouldn't work for certain sites (which block pop-ups). But, Clicky is quite reliable

Safety

Review carefully before installing. We recommend that you only install #Clicky for Slack if you trust the publisher.
