Slack is a business messaging app that facilitates communication and connects teams worldwide by offering many ways to personalize and adapt it to the company’s spirit.
Integrating your ActiveCollab account into Slack will take your collaboration to the next level. You’ll get the best of both worlds by communicating with your team on your favorite platform and staying informed on project progress in real-time.
Why Slack + ActiveCollab?
You don’t have to keep the ActiveCollab app open at all times while trying to focus on work! If all your communication flows through Slack, this integration allows you to get the necessary updates whenever an important change happens.
When you connect the two apps, you’ll be notified when:
- Tasks or projects are created
- A task is completed, copied, duplicated, or moved
- Time and expenses are logged
- An invited user accepts the invitation
You’ll be more efficient as filtering out important information becomes easier. You will see at a glance if you can give a thumbs-up and keep working on your tasks or if you need to get involved. For example, when you receive a notification about a task that needs your feedback, open it from Slack and leave a comment.
