Slack helps small and large teams simplify collaboration by providing a single hub for communication, reports, and files. Whatever teamwork you do, your company can do it in Slack - thanks to the myriad of integrated team collaboration software tools in the Slack App directory.
We've put together a list of 14 integrated tools from Slack to help you boost your team's productivity, streamline your work tasks, and create a seamless and collaborative workflow between your favorite apps.
These apps will help you manage your projects and file sharing, stay on top of your tasks, run virtual communication standups, access data from other apps, and more - all while creating a positive user experience. Slack is free for use, but the free plan allows up to 10 app integrations per workplace team, so choose wisely!

Email to Slack
Price: Slack Standard plan and above Email to Slack is not one of the flashiest integrations in the app directory, but this interface is so powerful that we think its unpopularity is undeserved.
This integration gives you a unique email address that you can use to subscribe to important notifications from any web service. With Email to Slack, you can receive responses, alerts from other tools, or even newsletters in your Slack. You can get even more creative and use it to send team-wide Slack announcements from your inbox or even forward emails to your team in Slack to increase efficiency.
Emails sent to this address will show up in your channel of choice. The charm of this integration is that you can use it as a way to harness the power of Slack with tools that lack a native Slack integration.
Email to Slack is only available with premium Slack plans.
