Why Create Custom Slack Emoji?

The emoji already inside Slack are often used for fun and also function. For example, you might use the black check mark or thumbs up to react to a Slack message, or you might use an emoji as a status marker for projects. Creating custom emoji takes this fun and function to another level. For example, you can upload your team member’s photos as emoji to mark tasks for specific individuals, or you can create branded emoji for fun. In either case, it’s hard to resist adding emoji to Slack.
