For teams of all sizes, drowning in Slack notifications? Use Dispatch to get 2x more done in Slack.
Dispatch was one of those apps that I didn't even think to look for because I never thought I needed it. Until I used it...
Let's be real, Slack is an overwhelming mess. You get mentioned all the time, have tons of DMs, while channels are just popping off left and right at all hours of the day.
So what do you do? You start muting all of the channels, and then you start missing everything. What if you could set simple filters which split your inbox to "Important" and "Other", all while all useless messages got auto-read (archived)?
That's Dispatch. It allows you to work through your Slack environment like email: [e] to archive messages, [h] to snooze them for later. Within the first minute of using it, you'll be wondering why Slack wasn't just built like this from the get-go.
It's like Superhuman for Slack (genuinely, if you're using Superhuman and not Dispatch—go and give it a whirl right now, you'll never be able to go back):
It also has super powerful team collaboration features. Have a shared Slack channel? Cool, @mention your team members and have private side comment threads without the external team members ever knowing.
If you're in any way trying to use Slack for internal or external support (inviting customers/clients), then you must be using Dispatch. Slack wasn't built for that. Dispatch was. Few apps have I actually bought the annual subscription so quickly (within 3 days). It's just magical.
