Use Base's integration for Slack to push messages from Base to Slack, and vice versa, to make organizing information easier, simpler, and more intuitive.
The new and improved Base integration for Slack will ensure that you or your team can work seamlessly between Base and Slack, without having to install two integrations. It now supports interactive decision streams in Slack.
Slack and Base
Slack is a messaging app that connects people to the information they need, bringing people together to work as one unified team.
From Slack, push messages into Base to quickly capture inputs as they flow in. Review the messages in Base Inbox without losing context, then convert them into project tasks, follow up questions, contact details, or custom notes, for as many executives as you support.
From Base, push messages into Slack to quickly share information or questions with executives and eliminate back and forth. Schedule send messages with executive briefs, decision streams, itineraries, and more, so your messages arrive at the best time.
