The single customer view for your Slack channel

Working on a remote team of Slack users, we admit to being a little biased about why Slack would be the next handy app for Glances to integrate with. If you are not yet familiar with Slack, it is a communication platform that goes eons beyond email, helping to connect employees, internal departments, clients, and outside vendors so they can work through day-to-day tasks and big-picture projects.

If you use Slack, you likely work in it all day. You may even obsessively check your Slack app’s unread updates on your smartphone during off hours too (incognito, of course). You could say, once you Slack, you can never go back...to email...or messenger apps. Another cool feature of Slack is its ability to connect with outside software that make it through the app approval process. That is why we are excited to share that Glances is now one of Slack’s essential apps available for connection!

/glances command in Slack is your new best friend

Glances will save you and your team time, plus improve your Slack user experience by showing customer data from all of your connected apps in one convenient Slack post. With Glances connected, there is no longer a need to connect a dozen different Slack apps and learn their specific commands, or figure out which one has the data you need in the moment you need it. It just takes one simple command to access one simplified customer view.

Getting this holistic customer view is as easy as typing /glances followed by what to search by, such as email address, and clicking ‘enter’ in the Slack message window. Glances will then quickly explore all of your apps for any information related to your entered search method and show the results right in your Slack post.
