Rollin’ in the deep with Flock integrations

Shared To-dos in Flock You can have it all when you connect your favorite apps to Flock!

We say it all the time: when teams talk, teamwork thrives. It’s sort of our mantra. It’s no secret that communication is a key driver of workplace productivity and that it brings out the best in highly collaborative teams.

So shouldn’t the tools we use every day communicate just the same? This is where Flock’s app integrations come in.

Flock’s deep integration with popular business apps like Asana, Trello, Todoist, Jira, and Dropbox, turns ordinary users into power users without ever having to leave a conversation in Flock or switch back and forth between them all. It brings your productivity stack to life so you can get more out of the apps you use the most.

How Flock works with Trello

As a Trello user, you probably use the task management tool to organize every bit of your life as it seems to map out everything you do.

This raises the question: Is it possible to make Trello even better? Definitely.

Trello notifications in Flock

We’ve integrated Trello into Flock’s App Store for a more fluid workflow for Trello users. Flock’s Trello integration keeps you posted on all the activity in your Trello boards. That means your editorial team on Flock can brainstorm new topic ideas directly in that channel and see their assignments in real-time. Or, your product engineering team can assign bug fixes in Trello and get notifications in their “Bugs and Issues” channel directly in the Flock app.

How to integrate Trello into Flock

Go to the Flock App Store and search for the Trello app
Click on Install and authenticate with your Trello account
Click on Add New Configuration
Select the Trello board you want to monitor
Select the activities you want to be notified about
Select the channel you want to be notified in
Click on Enable Integration

How Flock works with Todoist

Are you a Todoist user who also uses Flock? Do you wish you had better cross-functionality between the two apps? If so, there’s only one thing left for you (wait for it) to do—integrate your Todoist app into Flock messenger.

When you integrate Todoist into Flock your ability to organize all of your team’s tasks becomes an indispensable element to your daily workflow. Flock’s deep integration empowers existing Todoist users to leverage the full potential of both tools in the same app at the same time.

Todoist_Message_004

In the Message Editor, type the slash command /todoist [task] and hit Enter. The slash command accepts special parameters. For example, if you wish to set a due date for the task, label it, and then add it to a specific project, you would type the following:

/todoist [task] #[date & time] @[label] +[project]

When you create a task using the slash command /todoist [task] without specifying parameters, it is automatically added to your Todoist Inbox. You can also create a task from a message using Flock's message actions. To do this, hover over any message, expand the dropdown by clicking on the down arrow and select Add to Todoist.

How to integrate Todoist in Flock

Go to the Flock App Store, search for the Todoist app, and click Install.
Click on Add New Configuration.
Authenticate your Todoist account.
Once you’ve authenticated your account, create a Todoist task in Flock.

How Flock works with Jira

From simple task management to elaborate sprint planning, developer teams use Jira for a variety of purposes. Teams on Flock take Jira to the next level by staying on top of projects more easily with in-app Jira updates!

Flock’s Jira integration notifies you in real-time when new Jira issues are created and when existing ones are updated by team members. This includes when someone comments on a Jira issue so you can track progress on tasks. By connecting Jira to a Flock channel, team members can track updates themselves without having to leave Flock to check Jira multiple times a day.

How to integrate Jira into Flock

You need to be a Jira admin and familiar with webhooks to set up the Flock integration.

Go to the Flock App Store and search for the Jira app
Click on Install and Add New Configuration
Select the channel you want to be notified in
Select the Issue Status changes you want to monitor
Choose if you want to be notified for Comments
Click on Generate URL and copy it (this is your webhook endpoint)
In the Jira Administration menu, select System
Under Advanced, click on Webhooks
Click Create a Webhook
Paste the webhook endpoint (the URL you copied earlier
Click on Create
You’ll now start receiving Jira activity notifications in the specified Flock channel

How Flock works with Dropbox

If you’ve ever had to share links to Dropbox files and folders in an email or instant message, you know that shuffling between the two can get annoying. With the Flock and Dropbox integration, your team’s files and conversations stay together so you can work together more efficiently.

Connect your Dropbox account to Flock to search for files stored on the cloud right inside Flock—no more back and forth. Share files person-to-person or with a group of colleagues in channels, and add context to conversations with automatic file previews!
