Why Using Glances Within Missive is One Massive Time Saver

Work in Missive and View All Your Data Across Apps with Glances

Team messaging and collaboration tools in the SaaS space are like fine wine – they keep getting better with time. If you’re looking to ditch the traditional inbox for your work, consider using a tool like Missive, a newly compatible app with Glances. Missive has “redesigned the inbox” to help sales, support, and other business teams efficiently collaborate via email, SMS, chat, social, and more, all in one space.

Since creating a simplified and single view for all your data is what Glances stands for, you can enhance your daily workflows by adding Glances to Missive as a built-in integration. After a simple set up, you can stay working in Missive while simultaneously using Glances to search and view your real-time data across other apps, plus perform time-saving Actions. See how it all works in the video below.

Available data views (we call these Glances)

When you add Glances to Missive, you can search and view any contact’s related data across apps directly within the Missive platform. Start by entering any contact’s name or email address in the Glances Search tab, or use the Glances Highlight and Search feature to auto-search. From there, any available data related to your contact will appear, filtered and organized per connected app. Scroll through the list and click to view the details. It’s that easy.

Glances is compatible with both Missive’s web app and downloadable apps. Get step-by-step help on how to add Glances to Missive in our support article. Do you need to see an additional view or data set for Glances? Contact our team to discuss custom options for your business.

Simplify tasks and workflows with Actions

Glances Actions are a time-saving feature that help you complete tasks in other apps without navigating away from the current web app, platform, or webpage you are working in. For example, you can stay focused in your CRM platform while simultaneously creating a new estimate, invoice, or application for a customer – no need to toggle to other apps to handle each task.
