IF YOU’RE A MICROSOFT FAN who loves the whole lot the agency has ever achieved besides Teams, then desirable news: all the great things have arrived in Slack.
That approach, the integration you formerly got from Google connections, now works with Microsoft products. Meeting invites from Outlook Calendar will now pop up; you may get reminders to enroll in Skype meetings. Office documents could have complete previews instead of leaving you guessing what glorious mysteries lie inside. Your Slack status will also be mechanically modified primarily based on what’s taking place on your Outlook Calendar, so perhaps don’t be too candid about what you are up to at any given time if you do not need the entire organization’s understanding.
Do you recognize how you can get emails immediately to Slack channels via Gmail? Well, that functionality is also coming to Outlook mail, letting you forward messages to unique Slack channels or direct messages.
Finally, OneDrive also receives parity with Dropbox and Google Drive, letting you easily proportion files with any channel you are in. Sadly, there’s no room for Clippy at this birthday party, but you may usually trade your Slack profile pix to his face as an act of cohesion to our fallen buddy.
You could assume that this unexpected rush of integration results from Microsoft standing right down to a higher-located rival, finding it irresistible with iOS and Android. Still, the Office 365 integration has come via public APIs without direct involvement from the agency. You can’t believe Microsoft minds an excessive amount of, though. With many corporations using Slack, this could, at the least, stop them from leaving behind the ship for Google Docs for the siren track of better software integration.
