Slack is a one-stop collaboration system designed for workspaces. Emerged as a startup in 2015, it quickly became popular as one of the most effective communicative solutions for team working.
Apart from its great set of features, Slack easily synchronizes with a number of apps and services, like Dropbox, Google Drive, Jira, Trello, Google Calendar to name but a few. The synchronization is offered automatically whenever Slack finds the appropriate content. Moreover, it is also compatible with iOS and Android to provide you with the information anytime and anywhere. But the thing that really makes Slack stand out from other collaborative and messaging apps is its ability to integration.
Focused primarily on developers’ workspaces, Slack has an open API for writing customized applications. These applications can further on integrate with other systems through the OAuth framework.
