Until now, sending a message in a Slack channel to @everyone would bring you a warning that you were about to fire out a notification across time zones that might wake some people up.

Now there’s a new feature that lets you direct your shout at just the ones who are online. Type ‘@here’ before your message and it’ll notify team members who are active and ready for action, leaving your slumbering pals in peace.
