⚡️ Share a Lightning Tip
If you want to give your team a helpful tip, prepend your message with the lightning bolt. This is an easy visual marker, and it could help somebody looking for that tip again in the future. I like to add a bit of bold text here as well, like ⚡️Lightning Tip or ⚡️PSA.

1️⃣ Ask for Advice
Ask for advice using specific questions and emoji helpers. Distill your question and problem into precise language, and list a few specific, numbered options/solutions. All your coworkers have to do is add a number reaction to answer your question.

👍 Acknowledge a Reminder
Since there aren’t read receipts on many messaging platforms (like Slack), it can be hard to know who has seen which messages. Be a proactive teammate by acknowledging messages with a simple thumbs-up.

✅ Indicate a Task Is Done
After you’ve completed a task that was requested in a message, add a checkmark emoji to let your coworkers know you’ve completed your task. This might save your team lead from having to check some external tool repeatedly to see who has or hasn’t completed their tasks yet.

✋ Volunteer for a Task
If somebody on your team asks for help or needs to delegate a task, a simple raised hand says, “I can take care of that. Shoot me a message with more details.”
