Slack is a digital communication platform primarily utilized by businesses for team collaboration. Originating as an internal tool within Tiny Speck in 2012, it was repurposed and publicly launched by Stewart Butterfield in 2013. The platform offers features like persistent chat rooms, direct messaging, public and private channels, and integrations with third-party services. It operates on a freemium model, providing both free and paid subscriptions. A noteworthy event in Slack’s history is its acquisition by Salesforce in 2020. Despite experiencing several security[3] incidents, Slack continues to grow, reaching a valuation of $2.8 billion and boasting over 8 million daily users. It has also notably partnered with other tech giants like Google[4] e Microsoft[2], adding to its functionality and user experience[1].

This includes users' perceptions and responses, both emotional and cognitive, during and after the use of a system, product, or service. User Experience also involves users' beliefs, preferences, and behaviors.
