We’re beyond excited to announce a new Punchlist integration with Slack, to add even more speed to your feedback workflow.
If you’re the kind of person who wants to have godlike visibility into everything that’s happening on your projects, and avoid having to double efforts by “over-communicating” (copy-and-pasting the same thing in different tools), then this Slack automation is for you.
Now you can be the first to know when feedback is coming in. All from the comfort of Slack.
Slack is where work is happening. And Punchlist is a layer over your creative work. With 10+ million daily active users on Slack, it only made sense for Punchlist to integrate with it.
Worth noting that this doesn’t integrate Slack with ALL of your projects, so you can keep things organized on a per-project basis.
Ok now that you’ve clicked the next step to add the Slack integration – which just gives the two apps permission to talk to each other – now you’re ready to customize it to your needs.
Later I’ll show you some other cool keyboard shortcuts so that your integration can work both ways – have Slack talk to Punchlist, just like Punchlist talks to Slack.
For now, let’s just click the channel you want from the dropdown, then make sure you scroll down to Save Project.
Voila! You’re ready to start commenting just like any other Punchlist project – the main difference now is, your feedback will ping your Slack channel, with links back to those individual comments, to make it super easy for your team to collaborate and work through all the feedback and get really granular – seeing exactly what they are talking about.
From here, you can take it even further:
For example they can upload their own visual reference to the comment, if there’s an image that needs replacing. Things like that.
This is all stock standard in any Punchlist account.
Now, you can just make your workflow even more synced up, and see where things are at across your team – conveniently from your Slack workspace.
Then of course, if you click out of the comment level, you’re back to your Punchlist project, where you have all the different features and options for organizing your feedback; viewing comments in different ways; toggling mobile / desktop / tablet view; sorting comments by “Done” or “Incomplete”; and all the other features we’ve built for you to get your work done more effectively.
Next, I’ll share with you one of my favorite little Slack hacks with this Punchlist integration.
Who doesn’t love a good keyboard shortcut?
I find these things just lighten my cognitive load and reduce switching costs, which makes my brain feel better at the end of the day.
Here’s how it works:
Good uses for this Slack shortcut are:
No need to wait around, or switch between different apps and forget what you were about to do in the first place. Just type /punchlist then the URL, and boom – you’ve got a Punchlist project ready to share for feedback and markup.
This is just one of the many new features we’re adding to Punchlist to save you time, help you get projects done more efficiently, and free up your brain to focus on what matters.
