You should have a consistent naming nomenclature for customer channels in your Slack workspace that can be used to consistently differentiate customer channels from internal channels, like -customer.

#	Instructions
1	Go to Channel Settings
2	Under General, toggle Auto-Connect and type in your customer channel keyword.
