Streamline your workflow with Lucid and Slack
Little distractions can add up quickly when you're trying to be productive, so here are five ways you can avoid task and context switching when you're collaborating with your team in Lucid and Slack.
1. Use notifications to stay in the loop
Stop worrying about missed email notifications for your Lucid documents. With our integration, you can receive instant notifications about your Lucid documents without ever leaving Slack. (If youâre anything like us, we live in Slack, so the added convenience is game-changing.) Get notified instantly about new comments, shares, and document requests so that youâre always in the loop about project and document status.
2. Adjust permissions right before you send
Itâs so easy to forget to adjust Lucid document permissions (or any document permissions for that matter) before you share it in Slack.
Instead of keeping your colleague waiting as you frantically search for that request access email or go into Lucid to adjust sharing settings, you can manage document permissions directly in Slack, providing view, edit, edit and share, or comment access. When you paste a Lucid document link in Slack, you can select the appropriate access settings right before you send your instant message.
3. Include everyone when you share
When youâre working with a group, it can be so easy to accidentally leave someone out when youâre typing in email addresses to share a document. Instead of trying to remember everyoneâs name, just leverage your existing Slack groups when you share a document or board from Lucid. Itâs a great way to make sure you donât forget anyoneânot even that new hire who joined last week.
4. Access shared documents directly through Slack
If you share a Lucid board or document in Slack, the link gets converted into a document that you can search for and access in Slack. Youâll also get a document preview so you donât have to leave Slack to confirm that youâve got the right document.
5. Use link unfurling to preview documents
Have you ever sent the wrong document to a teammate? It leads to confusion, backtracking, and even makes it difficult to work together. But with link unfurling as a part of our Slack integration, you will never send the wrong document again. Simply paste your Lucid link into Slack and it will automatically unfurl, letting you preview the document before you send it.
Need to find a specific Lucid document later? Link unfurling makes it easier to quickly reference which document was sent. Just quickly look through the previews to find the right one.
With the Lucid Slack integration, you no longer have to worry about losing momentum in your teamâs collaborative process.
