"Quick and Easy Slack Enhancement"

5/5

What do you like best about Assignly?

First of all, it's really easy for a Slack message to get "lost in the weeds" so to speak. I love the quick "Convert to Task" (or whatever it's called) message action that lets me keep record of it very easily. I also love how simple the task/question model is, and how it follows up with you near the due date, but doesn't spam you. Also, it's nice to know that I can assign little things to teammates without them getting too deprioritized or also "lost in the weeds". Finally, I like the Assignly DM message app home tab thing; just the other day, I needed to find something I'd been assigned that had been on my mind for a while, and it's really really easy to find the task/question from that view, even if I've already completed it.

What do you dislike about Assignly?

Honestly, I'd love one follow up reminder if something hasn't been done for like, a week, or maybe just more customizable reminders in general, but the stock ones are still pretty good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Assignly solving and how is that benefiting you?

Assignly really solves the keeping track of and ensuring completeness of the small to medium, misc things that my company needs to do. My company uses ClickUp for the bigger project/task management, but it's a big chore to create an entire "ClickUp" task, with a deadline, and then actually get reminded of it properly. Plus, I don't want my company's Clickup inundated with these smaller more miscellaneous things that are quick and easy. If I need a 5 minute written response from someone, I use Assignly, and set the due date and time to the end of say, the following day or two, and it's been far more effective at getting the other executive at my company to do stuff than any other thing I've tried so far (including doing ClickUp for everything). I didn't see/realize that there was a place for this "small, quick, and easy task manager" where I "don't have to leave Slack" before, but now that my team is using Assignly (4 of us), we're really enjoying it.
