Everyone seems to find themselves fumbling with hyperlinks in Slack, but it's almost magic how easy it is. There are two main ways to do it.

.css-xywext-OL{list-style:decimal;margin-left:10px;padding-left:10px;}

    .css-1q3815n-LI{display:list-item;}

  1. Copy the URL you want to link to.

  2. Highlight the text you want to hyperlink.

  3. Type .css-13vnrrp-CODE{color:inherit;background-color:#f2f2f2;padding:0.3em;}Command + Shift + U on Mac or Ctrl + Shift + U on Windows. (You can also just click the link icon right above the message field, but why do that when you can use a shortcut?)

  4. The hyperlink box will pop up: paste the link in the Link field, and click Save.

How to hyperlink in Slack with an even shorter keyboard shortcut

  1. Copy the URL you want to link to.

  2. Highlight the text you want to hyperlink.

  3. Type Command + V on Mac or Ctrl + V on Windows.

The text will hyperlink without having to use that Add link pop-up. It seems like a small thing—cutting out one step and a couple keys—but when you spend your day adding links to Slack, it adds up. When Zapier customer champion Michelle Poterek shared this insight in an internal blog post, the people went wild for it.

Now you know how to hyperlink in Slack—but should you?
