What it does

Stop interrupting with @channel! Usually anyone can answer so why do we keep distracting everyone? Tellspin makes it easy to create schedules / escalation policies for Slack. Share the load with your team members with built-in user groups/@mentions.

Set up an internal support shift schedule directly in Slack. Take the guesswork out of who should pay attention to which messages. Easily share team responsibilities such as on-call shifts, peer reviews, IT requests, meeting hosts, or scrum masters. See your schedule, add reminders, and set overrides. No code required!

Organize people with shift schedules. Setup a Slack rota to see upcoming shifts, create overrides, and set reminders It's super handy to automate rotating shifts/responsibilities inside Slack. It's easier than @channel because the groups have the most knowledgeable people assigned to them at all times Give stakeholders a consistent way to reach out, but only trigger notifications for the team member responsible for responding. Our customer support folks can easily @mention an on call alias if something breaks- so they never have to know who exactly is on call. For our team it's great! Avoid the hassle of spreadsheets and external apps. Select your team members and rotation frequency. That's…from tellspin.com
