Recommended for

・Those who use Slack and Telegram for work and want to improve the efficiency of information sharing and notifications.
・Managers or members of customer support teams who want to improve the speed of customer response.
・Project leaders who want to visualize project progress and unify recognition among stakeholders.
・Managers who feel a lack of coordination between multiple teams using different communication tools.

Benefits and Examples of Integrating Slack and Telegram

Benefit 1. Speeding Up Customer Response

By integrating Slack and Telegram, you can automatically notify Telegram of messages sent to Slack, potentially speeding up customer response.
For example, when a customer support team is discussing issues raised by customers on Slack, the content can be quickly notified to the person in charge's Telegram, allowing them to contact the customer promptly.
Such prompt responses can improve customer satisfaction and enhance the overall reliability of the business.

Benefit 2. Visualizing Project Progress

Setting up notifications for task updates on Slack to Telegram can be useful for quickly grasping project progress.
For example, when reporting project goal achievements or assigning new tasks on Slack, automatic notifications to Telegram can ensure all team members share the same information.
Especially for teams handling multiple projects simultaneously, visualizing project progress makes it easier to understand the overall progress, enhancing transparency in project management.

Benefit 3. Facilitating Information Sharing Between Teams

Integrating Slack and Telegram can facilitate information sharing even when different platforms are used by different teams.
For example, even if the development team uses Slack and the sales team uses Telegram, important messages and information can be shared without omission.
This allows the sales team to quickly reflect the information shared by the development team in customer responses and sales activities.
Even in cases requiring urgent response or quick decision-making, the hassle of switching tools is eliminated, leading to improved work efficiency and strengthened collaboration.
