If you are using Slack as a collaboration tool in your organization and would like to launch a user chat window directly from ShortPoint, follow below step-by-step guide to do so. 

Step 1: Add ShortPoint Tiles Element

Note: For this example we use ShortPoint Tiles Element, but any other ShortPoint element containing a Link field can be used.

Step 2: Open Tiles (Items) Tab and add your items

Note: In other ShortPoint Elements, you will have Items tab instead of Tiles tab.

Step 3: Obtain Slack Team ID

• Open the Slack webpage (http://yourteam.slack.com)
• Copy the Team ID from the URL (it will be right after /client/ path):

Step 4: Obtain Slack Team member ID

• Select User in Slack
• Open user profile
• Click on More actions button (button with "…")
• Click  Copy member ID:
  
  

Step 5: Fill in the Link property 

slack://user?team={TEAM_ID}&id={USER_ID}

where {TEAM_ID} is a slack Team ID and {USER_ID} is a slack Team member ID.

Step 6: Click Insert

Step 7: Save the page and check the result 

Happy chatting!

That's it!
