This is How You Can Link Slack to Trello In No Time

One of the most important aspects of a company is communication. That is why modern times require modern solutions, and instant messaging apps are a common sight in office environments.

One such app is Slack, and it has pretty much everything you may need to make collaboration as efficient as possible.

One very helpful feature is its ability to allow communities, groups, or teams to join workspaces via a specific URL.

Trello is also a collaboration platform, albeit it is more visually inclined, which gives teams perspective on projects. In a somewhat similar fashion to Slack, Trello tells you what’s being worked on, who’s working on what, and where something is in a process.
