Graduate to A+ Workflows with the ABCs of Glances
Get schooled in Glances to master your apps and time
As September settles in, we say farewell to summer days and hello to the new school year in session. For professionals, it’s business as usual Monday through Friday, no matter the season. Take a moment to think about what business as usual means for your team: what procedures can be streamlined, what software platforms can be consolidated, and what tasks can be handled more efficiently?
If your daily work processes feel old-school and app overload is failing you and your team, there is a genius-level way to manage it all. We’ll cover the beneficial ABCs of Glances and how its patented, no-code technology can elevate your company’s workflows from barely passing to head of the class.
A is for Automated
Glances Actions helps you automate tasks across your favorite business apps that typically cannot be automated. Handled directly within Glances while you work anywhere online, Actions allow you to complete tasks in other apps without navigating away from your work. Our customers report saving up to 20 minutes of time per completed task, which adds up to hours of work saved per teammate, every single day. Here are a few ideas of what you can accomplish using Actions for your top business apps:
✔️ Create, send, and resend invoices and estimates
✔️ Pre-fill various online forms
✔️ Create new customers and update existing profiles
✔️ Start online calls and virtual meetings
✔️ Create new payments and refund existing payments
✔️ Create new products and services
Want to automate to the next level? You can further optimize your daily workflows with post-Action app updates, which automatically bring back select pieces of data to specific apps after you complete Actions.
B is for Buildable
No two tech stacks and workflows are the same, which is why Glances is an adaptable fit for businesses of all kinds and sizes. Construct Glances to work as uniquely as your team needs it to, no matter the…
✔️ Industry you work in
✔️ Amount of business apps you use, from Asana to Zendesk
✔️ Number of accounts or instances per app your team relies on
✔️ Type of daily tasks you need to perform
Building Glances starts with connecting your favorite business apps for yourself or as an admin on behalf of your specified teammates. Even your private apps and legacy systems are connectable! Customize even further by utilizing the multitasking powers of Actions, from dozens of built-in Actions available for specific apps to whatever your team can dream up (send us a request here).
C is for Connected and Confidential
Staying connected to the data you need in the moment you need it has never been more convenient and accessible. Directly from the Glances browser extension (our favorite way), online at glances.com, or in-app with platforms like monday.com, Glances is your go-to for viewing more and doing more with your data across apps while working anywhere online. Ditch tab toggling, stop switching apps, and finally stay focused working in your platform of choice without continually navigating away.
Data security and privacy, plus team confidentiality, are also huge benefits. Glances lets your data live in its native application, so it does not require syncing or storing of your (or your customers’) data.
Internally, not every employee needs full access to an app account and the complete data it hosts. Whether for confidentiality, security, or another valid reason, having these parameters in place is important. That is why Glances allows admins to specify who can view what data on a team using personal connections. For example, enable a specific team member to only view CRM leads assigned to them without granting full access to the Salesforce account data.
