Recommendations to others considering Workast:
-I will use workast if I want to automate task assignment across teams, if I also use slack because is still super connected and if I want more advanced features than trello but not necessary need something like attlasian tools.
-Workast is a tool that can save you time, consider how much time do you or your team spend by assigning manually tasks to other members
-Also I think Workast is just great for Startups and super easy to implement so it let you concentrate in your business tasks not side work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What problems is Workast solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are teams or areas in our Company like customer service who have to reply playstore/appstore reviews and social media mentions specifically. For us is important to automatically assign this task to different team members and have an automatic tracking of the progress of each team member. And we did it with workast. Because you already can create an space with members, autoassign task to them, later Workast will show them how many task are left for every team member and it will be reporting you everyday if you want or every week directly to you email inbox so you easily follow up those team members who are struggling. For the autoasigment we use first a zapier integration from the playstore/appstore to slack and from slack to workast. For social media integration we use the same a zapier integration with twitter & our facebook page to slack and from slack to Workast and works just fine.
There is another feature we really like about Workast, it already has implemented a due date that auto renew every month or that creates the same task everymonth. This feature in Trello is an addon and it cost but in Workast with a really small team is free. This feature help us for task that has to repeat every month like manual payment collections for some customers so it really helps you a lot. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
