Slack does not have a built-in quote feature, but users can work around this by formatting their own messages as block quotes, sharing existing messages as links within new messages, or forwarding previous messages. To format a message as a block quote, copy the text and type `>`, then paste it into a new message. Alternatively, users can link to an existing Slack message by copying the link from the original message and pasting it into a new message. Forwarding a message is another option for sharing previous messages in new conversations. Quoting messages in Slack can be useful for emphasizing key points, providing context, or making messages quicker to read, but should be used strategically to avoid cluttering channels with unnecessary quotes. Additionally, Zapier's integration with Slack allows users to automate tasks such as updating Slack status and creating tasks from Slack messages.
