👀 What was changed

You can now get the Shook platform notifications delivered to you & your organization in Slack. We also released Reminders, which lists pending review tasks for your company on a Slack channel of your choice.

How to set up Slack notifications

For individual users, setting up notifications:

• Navigate to User settings > Connections to authorize Shook to access your Slack account
• In User settings > Notifications, you can select in detail what kind of notifications you want to receive
  • There’s also an option to receive these messages on a Slack channel (they are sent as private messages by default)

How to set up company Reminders

For companies, setting up reminders:

• In Company settings > Connections, you can authorize Shook to access your Slack organization

  • Access Company settings by clicking the cog icons ⚙️ on the top-right corner, or on the Shook app front page

• In Company settings > Reminders, you can select on which channel Shook sends the reminders

  • A reminder message will be sent to this Slack channel from Monday to Friday at 07:00 London time, listing any pending review requests for the company
  • Two notifications with same message will be de-duplicated

  

💭 Why

• Notifications are better received and managed on the channels that our users do their daily work on
• Quicker reaction times to notifications help speed up creative productions
  • Everybody wins when productions finish earlier 😊
• Reminders of pending tasks, surfaced to the wider company audience, help remove bottlenecks and blockers in the process

⚠️ Limitations / caveats

• The 07:00 London time was chosen as a quick middle ground – give feedback if someone wants to adjust that time, to accommodate other time zones
