Workflow Example

During a live campaign, the sales and marketing teams use a dedicated chat channel to coordinate promotions. When a new lead comes in, sales tags marketing to provide collateral, and marketing uploads the material directly into the chat. This immediate communication accelerates response times and ensures smooth collaboration.
