The more things change, the more they stay the same! Slack has changed the UI for adding Sidequest to a channel, but creating helpdesk channels with Sidequest is still easy as a Friday afternoon. This is how you find your way now:

[Sidequest for Slack @GetSidequestApp]

@ethostrong Unfortunately, "real" Slash Commands have lost quite a bit of visibility in Slack, so all we offer right now is "/sidequest create". However, please feel invited to try our Global and Message Shortcuts, as well as our Slack Workflow Builder integration – it's a real powerhouse.

[Sidequest for Slack @GetSidequestApp]

@ethostrong Actually it's even easier: you send the task to the channel, and can then assign it in the screen that appears right afterwards (if you are a member yourself). Alternatively, people in the channel can assign themselves once a task has been posted.

[Sidequest for Slack @GetSidequestApp]

@ethostrong To select channels, Sidequest needs to be added to the respective channels first. Simply send “@Sidequest” to the channel, and Slack should ask you if you want to add the app to the channel.

[Sidequest for Slack @GetSidequestApp]

@ethostrong Absolutely! All tasks sent to a channel can be assigned to one or multiple channel members. Thanks for checking in!

Sometimes, there are jobs that just can't be done alone. This is why, starting today, Sidequest supports assigning a channel-based task to multiple people. 🤜🤛

Pro tip: If you feel like Sidequest is nudging you a bit too hard, you can always finetune your notification and daily briefing preferences in your Personal Settings.

Using Sidequest already, but still missing due and start dates? Let us come to the rescue: Sidequest now posts reminders to Slack threads once a task is due or once you can start working on it. 🔔

@LM_Campbell @SlackHQ Hi Linda, while it's odd that you cannot remove our app, there is no reason to worry – our trial will end automatically and we can't and won't charge you without a payment method. If you send us your e-mail via DM, we'll also be happy to cancel your subscription manually.
