Hey there you wonderful technologists!
I thought it might be fun to create a thread for us to share our tech stacks. Navigating the sea of apps can be tricky – every day my inbox is flooded with missives from SaaS companies explaining why I should subscribe to their product. But nothing beats word-of-mouth recommendations from peers, so let's share what's working for us and together we can break through the noise!
I can go first…
As a content specialist here on the Community Team I use a bunch of different tools to help me plan, create, publish and track content. I also use Typeform a lot to help me with my tasks, integrating it with the tools using either the native integration or via Zapier or Make.
Aside from Gsuite (yawn), here are some of my favourite tools for getting stuff done:
️ Airtable for managing and cataloging content. One of the things I use it for is keeping track of incoming case studies/testimonials. I set up an integration whereby a customer submits their case study/testimonial in a typeform (or a videoask) then this gets pushed into Airtable and cataloged. At the same time an alert is sent to Slack and a draft is created in Google Docs. You can read how the process works here.
📒 Asana for planning projects (webinars, content and things). Again, I have this integrated with various Typeforms, including one where if someone internally submits a request for some kind of content, it automatically creates a task in Asana with various fields pre-filled, helping me to prioritize.
Slack for day-to-day comms with team members. We have various integration flows set up within Typeform as a whole for alerts and requests. My personal favourite was a "lunch buddy-matching" typeform that would ping people on Slack to let them know who was up for grub in town on any particular day.
Canva for creating graphics/presentations (like the league table I made for our World Cup prediction league). By the way, there's a really neat Canva integration hidden within Typeform, allowing you to create great looking meta images - more deets here.
Spotify gets me through the tough days. I even integrated it into Typeform, setting up a form where people can submit their fave songs and it turns them into a shared Spotify playlist. I also recommend checking out our Best music to create typeforms thread!
❓ What tools are you using? Are you integrating Typeform into these, and if so, how?
