Slack single channel guest too difficult.

Slack single channel guest too difficult.

Invitee to [Slack single channel guest

Where would you like to work from?" I was asked something along the lines of "Oh, you mean which workspace to put the guest channel in?" and chose my personal workspace at random, but it was a mistake.

Both organizers must have a paid Slack plan in order to work together on a channel.

Team is currently on a free trial.

If this is your first time using Slack, your team can start with a free 90-day trial of the Pro plan until February 18. If you wish to continue on this plan after the trial ends, you can upgrade at any time.

... . automatically revert to the free version of Slack after February 19.

From this description, it looks like I can start a free trial of the Pro Plan here and use it until 2/19. But when I press the button, it asks me to enter my credit card information.

Hmmm, I have no idea.

Interpretation 1

Free Trial" and "Free Version" are the same concept A, and "Free Trial of Pro Plan" is a different concept B

Now we are in A, and for some reason we can't move to B.

He had once in the past b...

It says, "You can do one trial per workspace..."

Interpretation 2

Free Trial" stands for "Free Trial of Pro Plan" and is the same concept A. "Free Version" is a different concept B.

Trial A has already started and when you press the button, the transition is to the "upgrade anytime" screen to upgrade

It is natural to not find the screen for initiation because it has started

It's unnatural that I can't find the guest channel even though it's started.

Interpretation 3

All three are different concepts, I just haven't found the pro plan trial start page.

Tip : If you have partners who are not yet using Slack or are on a free plan, you can invite them to try Slack Connect for free.

"Invitation to try Slack Connect for free" leads to (3)

Don't have a partner signed up for a paid Slack plan? Don't worry!

Your partners may be using the free version of Slack or may not be using Slack at all; if you have an Enterprise Grid plan, your free plan team can join the channels you invite them to without the need for an upgrade or free trial. You will be able to join the invited channels without the need for an upgrade or free trial. If you are on a different paid plan, no problem. Invite partners you work with to join Slack. Qualifying partners can try the Slack Pro plan for free for 90 days. *

The overall optimal solution is to have this single channel guest in the first place, and since it's part of Cybozu's business, the channel should have been grown inside the Cybozu workspace.

I left it to sort it out after dinner, and before I knew it, it was resolved.

Does this mean that "the inviting party will not know if they are successfully connected as a single-channel guest until the inviting party adds them to the channel"?
