Network Functionality Limitations

Please be aware of the following limitations when using the Slack bridge:

• Initial sync time: It may take up to 30 minutes for your Slack messages to sync into Beeper. There is no progress indicator, so please be patient during this initial process.
• Two-Factor Authentication: Workspaces using advanced 2FA tools (e.g., Okta) may not be compatible.
• Slack Connect: Currently not fully supported.
• Large Workspaces: The existing bridge may not perform well with very large workspaces. Improvements are in progress.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions

1. Does Slack connect both channels and DMs by default?
   Yes. Slack DMs will appear in your main Inbox, while channels will be shown under the workspace icon in the left sidebar.
    
2. Can I connect multiple Slack workspaces?
   Yes, but each workspace must be connected individually—best done via the Desktop app.
