Transfer from Slack to this app
Asked by Maksym Drapak:

Hello!

My name is Maxim (system administrator) and I am writing on behalf of our company LITSLINK and would like to ask you some questions regarding your product.

Do you have Slack integration? We use Slack at our company and would like to integrate Trello for better video calls and conferences.

Is it possible to create "general" channels in Trello? We want to be able to create common channels for all members of our company.

Is it possible to create different spaces for different teams (Sales/dev/c-level/pm) in Trello? We need to be able to create separate rooms for our various teams.

What is the cost per user in Trello? We are interested in your product and would like to know about your pricing policy.

Do you have the option of cloud or selfhosted Trello deployments? We'd love to hear about your deployment options and what they provide.

Thank you for your time and we look forward to your response.

Best wishes,  
LITSLINK

Will do my best to assist with your questions below! :)

**Do you have Slack integration? We use Slack at our company and would like to integrate Trello for better video calls and conferences.**

Yes, we have a Slack Power-up made by Trello available here: <https://trello.com/power-ups/55a5d917446f51777421000a>

**Is it possible to create "general" channels in Trello? We want to be able to create common channels for all members of our company.**

Within Trello, you have a [Workspace](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/what-are-trello-workspaces/). Think of it like a bucket or container for all your boards and users. Within a Trello Workspace, you have boards where users can collaborate. These boards can [have a visibility](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/changing-the-visibility-of-a-board/) that's either Private (shared only with specific people), Workspace visible (visible to all Workspace members) or Public (available to anyone with the link).

Would definitely suggest checking out our getting started guide which should help you get familiar with the basics! :) - <https://trello.com/guide/trello-101>

**Is it possible to create different spaces for different teams (Sales/dev/c-level/pm) in Trello? We need to be able to create separate rooms for our various teams.**

Within a Workspace, we have the [collections feature](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/creating-collections-for-premium-workspaces/) - allowing you to group boards within a Workspace into categories. This helps if you want to have a single Workspace only.

You can also [create a Workspace](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/creating-a-new-workspace/) for each separate team and set things up that way. Main thing to note is as subscriptions are applied to each individual Workspace, if you plan to upgrade each Workspace - you'd need a separate subscription for each Workspace.

**What is the cost per user in Trello? We are interested in your product and would like to know about your pricing policy.**

Our pricing and feature comparison is available here: <https://trello.com/en/pricing>.

We also have [this guide](https://support.atlassian.com/trello/docs/how-billing-works-with-trello-premium-and-standard/) which provides an overview of how billing works in Trello. On a paid plan, whether a user is considered billable or not billable depends on whether they're a Workspace Member (Billable) or a Guest (someone who isn't a member of the Workspace, but added to one or more boards in the Workspace). A single board guest is non billable. A multi-board guest is billable. Let us know if you have any other questions about this.

**Do you have the option of cloud or selfhosted Trello deployments? We'd love to hear about your deployment options and what they provide.**

Trello is fully cloud hosted. We have some further information on data security and location available [here](https://trello.com/en/legal/security#:~:text=findings%20as%20appropriate.-,Data%20Centers%20and%20Location,-Trello%20production%20services).

Hope this helps! :) Let us know if you have any other questions we can assist with.
