Subscribing Slack channels to Check-ins and other updates from Range
The best way to build transparency and awareness of work through Range is to share information where people are already working—including Slack. Once you subscribe a shared team channel in Slack to Range, your team will see Check-Ins, goal updates, and meeting notes directly in Slack.
