The best apps for Slack are the ones that automate mundane tasks and cut down on distracting context switching between tools. The reason is simple: These apps save everyone time and energy that’s better applied to the more creative, important, and enjoyable parts of your job.
This month, to help ease those burdens, we’re showcasing a handful of tools with new capabilities to help streamline your work. Check out the latest from HubSpot, Coupa, Citrix, Eletype, and SoapBox, all of which can be found in the ever-expanding Slack App Directory.
