What should I use for internal alerts and customer communications?

A good rule of thumb:
- Internal alerts: use Slack or Microsoft Teams
- Customer communications: use email, SMS, or a customer messaging platform like Intercom, Zendesk, or a support chatbot
If you want a simple split:
- Internal = Slack/Teams
- External = email for formal updates, SMS for urgent notifications, and in-app/chat for support
If you’re asking in the context of a specific system or workflow, tell me:
- who the alerts are for,
- how urgent they are,
- whether they’re one-way or conversational,
and I can recommend the best option more precisely.
