No app like a free app that works, and we have added an
awesome new (FREE) integration with one of the best (FREE) communication and
organization apps out there, #Slack.
Slack currently has over 1.1 million daily active users with
a handful of those here at PushPress. It is a fantastic, simple-to-use
tool to communicate with your staff based on topic or project. You choose which
staff members are a part of which group conversations, called channels; you can
direct message your staff individually, and files can be added to both. Files,
including Google Drive, Dropbox and Box files can be “starred” for future
reference and commented on.
Some of the benefits of using Slack are:
- Communication with your team is EASILY searchable. You don’t have to scroll through pages of text to find the answers
you want or have to look through email and your text to find the information
you need from your staff. This includes any documents you download into Slack.
It indexes the content of any file within your account. Slack will become the
new singular focal point of communication within your business. - Slack will keep transactional communication from
clogging up your email inbox. As a business owner, this will save time and
sanity. Instead of having your email push notices popping up on your phone constantly, your PushPress payment receipts can be held in one Slack channel,
member check-ins in another, and so forth. Nice. - Slack is free to use forever, regardless of the
number of users in your account. It is accessible anywhere, laptop, desktop,
and mobile apps. - Slack is available for Apple and Android
devices. - Like PushPress, Slack integrates with so many
other services (check out https://slack.com/integrations).
At PushPress, we want your time spent with your members, not
behind a desk managing your business software… or your email inbox.
