There is no API method for that, but you can create this functionality easily with a small script.
- Get all members of a Slack team incl. their user IDs with
users.list - Loop through all active users (ignore the ones with
deleted = false) - Send a direct message to each user with
chat.postMessageby using their user ID as channel
Be sure though to respect the rate limit of max. 1 message per second or the API will return errors.
