Slack Metric
Collaboration
User Activity Score is a composite metric that blends multiple engagement signals - messages sent, reactions given, threads participated in, files shared, and app interactions - into a single score per user. It provides a balanced view of Slack engagement that goes beyond raw message count.

Why user activity score matters for Slack users
Message count alone is a misleading measure of Slack engagement. A user who reads carefully, reacts thoughtfully, and replies in threads is more engaged than one who posts frequently but adds little value. A composite score captures the full range of engagement behaviours.
For Slack administrators, user activity scores segmented by department or role reveal adoption gaps and engagement variations. Low-scoring segments may need targeted onboarding, training, or cultural encouragement to participate more actively.
Understand and act on user activity score with KPI Tree
Combine multiple engagement signals from Slack in your warehouse and compute a weighted activity score in KPI Tree. Link it to platform adoption rate and workspace health score.
Assign RACI ownership to IT or internal communications and use the metric to measure the impact of adoption initiatives and communication campaigns.

Platform Adoption Rate
CollaborationMetric Definition
Platform Adoption Rate = Active Users / Total Provisioned Users × 100
Platform Adoption Rate measures the percentage of organisation members who are actively using Slack - sending messages, reacting, or engaging with content - within a defined period. It distinguishes between accounts that exist and accounts that are genuinely adopted into daily workflows.
Notification Engagement Rate
CollaborationMetric Definition
Notification Engagement Rate = Notifications Acted On / Total Notifications × 100
Notification Engagement Rate measures the proportion of Slack notifications that result in user action - opening the app, reading a message, or responding. It reveals whether notifications are driving productive engagement or being ignored due to overload.
Top Contributor Analysis
CollaborationMetric Definition
Top Contributor Analysis identifies the most active Slack users by message volume, thread participation, reactions given, and cross-channel engagement. It surfaces knowledge brokers who connect different parts of the organisation and potential bottlenecks where too much communication flows through a single individual.
Workspace Health Score
CollaborationMetric Definition
Workspace Health Score is a composite metric that evaluates the overall health of a Slack workspace by weighting factors such as platform adoption rate, active channel ratio, engagement depth, DM-to-channel ratio, and notification engagement. It provides a single number for tracking workspace quality over time.
