Introducing the Groove/Slack Integration

Groove has joined forces with Slack to bring you an exciting new integration designed to streamline your customer support workflow. This integration allows you to seamlessly connect Groove with your Slack workspace, enabling you to stay informed, collaborate efficiently, and keep your team in sync.

• Real-time Ticket Notifications: Incoming tickets are delivered directly to your Slack chat room within a dedicated Groove channel, allowing you to instantly react to customer inquiries.

Simplifying Your Groove Workflow

Beyond the integration, Groove continues to make improvements to enhance your workflow. The platform recently introduced two key changes to the New Ticket form, responding to user feedback.
