# Communication best practices

## Using Slack effectively

**Always use threads**

* Click "Reply to thread" instead of posting a new message
* This keeps channels organized and easy to follow

**Be specific in questions**

* Include task IDs or screenshots when relevant
* Reference the guideline section you're unsure about
* This helps leads answer you faster

**Check docs first**

* Use ctrl + f to search documentation
* Search Slack history for similar questions
* This saves everyone time

## When to ask questions

**Good times to reach out:**

* Guideline instructions are unclear or conflicting
* You're stuck on an edge case not covered in docs
* You need platform access or technical help
* You have ideas for improving the workflow

**Less urgent (check docs first):**

* Basic task instructions
* General pipeline rules
* Previously answered questions

## Response times

* micro1 operates globally with team members in many timezones
* Expect responses within a few hours during business hours
* For urgent issues, tag your pipeline lead directly
