But in DMs? Go links were just plain text. That changes today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re excited to introduce clickable go links in Slack DMs, bringing the same powerful GoLinks experience from public channels into your private conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What\u2019s New: Go links in Slack DMs<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nHere\u2019s what this release includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Clickable go links<\/strong> \u2013 Paste a go link into any direct message, and it will automatically convert into a clickable redirect with a rich preview.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Multi-links and Collections<\/strong> \u2013 Share entire sets of resources at once, and every go link will unfurl for easy access.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Unlisted go links<\/strong> \u2013 If you share an unlisted go link in a DM, you\u2019ll see a confirmation prompt before revealing it to your recipient, adding a layer of security and awareness.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nIn short: whether you\u2019re in a busy team channel or a quiet one-on-one, your go links now work the way they should. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\nWhy This Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDMs aren\u2019t just small talk. They\u2019re where some of the most critical work happens:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Manager updates<\/strong> \u2013 Quickly share go\/dashboard with the latest KPIs.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Project collaboration<\/strong> \u2013 Send a go\/design Collection during a focused one-on-one with a teammate.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Onboarding new hires<\/strong> \u2013 Share a go\/welcome multi-link with all the docs a new teammate needs.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Support escalation<\/strong> \u2013 Drop go\/runbook directly into a DM with your IT lead.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nBefore this release, dropping a go link in a DM often meant adding extra explanation or copying and pasting into your browser. Now, recipients get the same clarity, trust, and quick access that go links already provide in channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This consistency reduces friction, improves collaboration, and ensures that knowledge flows as easily in private conversations as it does in team-wide discussions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\nBuilding on the Power of GoLinks + Slack<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThis release is the latest step in making Slack and GoLinks work better together. If your team already uses our Slack integration, you know how it extends the value of go links across your workflows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Go links unfurl in channels<\/strong> \u2013 Any time a teammate shares a go link in a channel, it automatically expands into a clickable redirect with a description and preview, so no one is left guessing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Multi-links and Collections in channels<\/strong> \u2013 Share entire bundles of resources that expand for easy browsing.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Search with a shortcut<\/strong> \u2013 Use our Slack shortcut to instantly search across all company go links and drop the right one into a conversation without leaving Slack.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Stay informed with feeds<\/strong> \u2013 Set up automatic feeds of newly created go links in a public channel, so your team always knows what resources exist.
<\/li>\n\n\n\n- Enable at scale<\/strong> \u2013 Add the GoLinks bot to all public channels at once to activate the full benefits of unfurls, search, and visibility across your organization.
<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\nWith the addition of clickable go links in DMs, Slack now delivers a complete GoLinks experience across both group and private collaboration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
