Slack is one of the most used communication tools today in business and for good reason. This app helps businesses get organized, share files and communicate with every member of the team easily.
It was founded by Stewart Butterfield and started as an internal tool used by his company while developing a now defunct online game. Now, it has grown to be worth $3.8 billion since its official launch. Slack is actually an acronym which stands for Searchable Log of All Conversation and Knowledge.
The power of Slack integrations
Slack is not an ordinary chat room thanks to its ability of integrating third-party applications to harness more value out of the platform. These integrations enable teams to create workflows and bring data from any application. You can receive or send emails, make audio or video calls, take notes, and even organize your calendar.
Slackbot which is built in the platform and helps you with note-taking and reminders. DiggBot delivers interesting news to your Slack channel, and if you work with a remote team, the Spacetime bot translates local times zones. Another great integration is ClickUp that brings all tasks, reminders, calendars, to do lists in one place for efficient project management.
There are thousands of Slack integrations out there specially designed to improve your team’s productivity and efficiency but we have our top favourites. Here are some amazing marketing Slack integrations that you need to try.
Live Chat for Slack
A study by Zendesk revealed that 92% customers feel satisfied when they use the live chat feature but surprisingly, a lot of businesses still don't have this available in their website.
Social Intents’s Live Chat for Slack lets you chat with website visitors right from Slack. This application is designed to work seamlessly for your team. All you have to do is add Live Chat to your Slack, then copy 1 line of code to your site and your entire team will be ready to give your visitors real-time chat support.

Alternatives
HubSpot is probably one of the best CRM Slack apps, but if you’re looking for an alternative, there’s a lot of options. A quick search in the Slack Apps directory returns at least 20 CRM Slack integrations. We like Zoho CRM a lot. Another great HubSpot alternative is GrowthBot, an app that functions like a personal assistant for marketers and sales reps.
Nuzzel
Nuzzel is a news monitoring and research tool. In October 2017, they launched a Slack app that is great for both marketers and PR people alike.

MailClark
A common pain point for a lot of teams is having to switch between a chat platform and a team inbox. MailClark centralizes all of your external communications so you no longer need to switch between different tools and waste precious minutes of your day. That means you can now manage your emails and messages from Facebook or Twitter within Slack.
MailClark Slack Integration
When asked what makes MailClark unique in the market, the company’s CEO Anthony Bleton-Martin responded, “We’re the most integrated and comprehensive email integration for enterprise chat. Our competitors require users to learn and use their dedicated interface, our learning curve is one of the market’s best as all actions can be carried out directly from Slack or MS Teams.”
Alternatives
MailClark is a really useful Slack app, but there are more apps on the market with the same features. A Slack app similar to MailClark that we really like is PigeonBot. This Slack app lets you send emails to people on your channels from Slack using a simple command.
Join.me
Many consider Join.me to be the best and simplest screen sharing and file transfer tool in the market.
It is free to use and can be used anytime and anywhere.

If your company needs a few more features, there is a pro version which starts at $29 per month.

Slacker - This integration is for the jokers in the team who want to lighten up the atmosphere. Users can impersonate 20 different characters and can even add their own.
