Text substitution does not work with Slack on Yosemite

Pregunta
I have a text substitution setup within the System Preferences. This works most places within OS X as far as I can tell, but it does not work in Slack. (Their native app for OS X version 1.1.4 - 2814)
Does anyone know why?
UPDATE
It looks like this is not specific to Slack at all

Even after following the instructions in the accepted answer, this still did not work for me until I followed these instructions. Basically, run the following in a terminal:
defaults write -g WebAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled -bool true
or to only change Slack's behavior (and not pollute your global domain):
defaults write com.tinyspeck.slackmacgap WebAutomaticTextReplacementEnabled -bool true
So, it seems that Text Substitutions have not been implemented in Chrome so I assume that is the underlying problem I'm having with Slack.
