We understand that users are interested in integrations with various chat platforms, including Microsoft Teams, to perform actions like approvals directly within their chat applications. While our current Slack integration allows you to launch processes and create tasks, it does not extend to pushing all reminders or task updates into Slack, and a similar approach would apply to other chat platforms like Microsoft Teams.
Our philosophy is to avoid overwhelming users with notifications in chat applications. We believe there are more effective ways to stay updated without contributing to notification fatigue:
- Chat is for real-time human interaction: Business chat platforms are designed primarily for direct communication between people. Introducing too many automated messages can dilute this primary purpose and lead to users ignoring important bot-driven updates.
- Avoiding overload: Email inboxes are often overloaded. Simply shifting this overload to chat applications can make the problem worse, as chat implies a greater sense of urgency.
- Existing notification methods: Tallyfy already offers several ways to stay informed:
- You can configure daily email digests that summarize your due and overdue tasks.
- The watching items feature (by favoriting) allows you to curate a list of specific tasks, processes, or templates you want to follow closely and receive tailored notifications for.
- Controlling inbound flow: The volume of automated messages can grow exponentially, potentially leading users to disengage from robot-driven chat entirely.
We are designing a new approach for chat integrations (for Slack, Microsoft Teams, and potentially others like WhatsApp or Facebook Messenger in the future) that prioritizes user-initiated interactions.
- User-initiated conversations: Instead of Tallyfy pushing messages to you, you will be able to start a conversation with Tallyfy via a bot or an intelligent AI system within your chat platform.
- Intelligent assistance: You can ask questions, and the bot will provide answers, pointing you to the relevant tasks, processes, or information within Tallyfy as needed.
Alongside user-initiated chat, we are also exploring interactive email actions that would allow you to complete certain Tallyfy tasks directly from within email clients like Outlook and Gmail, further reducing the need to switch applications for quick actions.
Tallyfy and Zapier work together to create an effective task management system by combining human-driven process management with automated application connections that streamline workflows while maintaining accountability and human oversight.
Tallyfy is a workflow management platform that helps non-technical users document track and improve business processes by centralizing procedures enabling real-time progress monitoring and using AI to optimize workflows for consistent execution across organizations.
