Freedcamp Slack integration – roadmap and status

There are very few project management tools on the market that offer unlimited users, storage, and projects with the free version of the software, and that is Freedcamp’s secret sauce. Freedcamp – Good for Agile task management. Asana – Good for team members who aren’t particularly tech-savvy. Trello – Good as a project management tool with Kanban-style planning. Freedcamp with the free version and multiple paid plans that are different packages of features is an excellent project management software. Freedcamp is an apt solution for the project management requirement of growing businesses.

We started working on version 1 of our native Slack integration this month.

Version 1

1. Slack Actions. Create tasks, events, issues, discussions, and comments from messages!

2. Commands. In any channel, simply type /fc new to add a new item, right from your Slack feed!

3. Unfurl items in Slack. When links are posted in Slack, they’ll be instantly enriched with detail, context, and the ability to perform actions with the item.

Questions

1. Slack commands

“For some users, slash commands are a secret superpower that can unlock immense productivity in Slack. However, only a fraction of users discovers this magic. While slash commands continue to be a speedy way for experienced users to engage with apps, shortcuts make apps more discoverable and intuitive for anyone to use.” – Source

Simple project management software

We plan to implement the following shortcuts:
– add an item from a message
– add a comment from a message – add an item

and commands
– /fc help
– /fc add (will trigger a popup to select a project, application, etc)

If you use commands with other apps please let us know in the comments what do you want to see being implemented?

2. Home tab

Please check this page to learn more about the Slack home tab for apps. We think one of the possibilities is to add the Freedcamp Recap page to the home tab. It can probably be made configurable but we would love to stick with only one option in version 1.

Please feel free to post your ideas for what the Freedcamp home tab should be.

Version 2

Get notifications on your work happening in Freedcamp. You can get notifications for items you are assigned to or follow and be able to interact with them.

After version 1 is launched we will add the ability to send your own Freedcamp notifications to a Slack channel. Ideally, this should be your own private channel only you can access.

We may consider adding options as to what type of notifications you want to get in Slack – a new task assigned to me, new comments for items you follow or mentions, or any combinations of those.

We will discuss implementation details before we start working on version.

Version 3

Freedcamp cost

Link specific projects or project groups to a Slack channel. The channel will receive notifications when updates and changes are made. Slack users can interact with these items.

In version 3, we will allow Freedcamp administrators to push selected projects and or project group notifications to specific Slack channels. To avoid duplication that can create havoc in Slack – we will check and warn you on duplicates. You will be able to link a project with a Slack channel, a project group with a Slack channel, or any combination of the above and do it multiple times.

If you linked project A1 in Freedcamp with channel X in Slack and now attempt to link project group A where project A is located with channel X.
