Join us to collaborate!

Mautic is delighted to have a partnership with Slack, an all-in-one, real time team communications platform, which enables us to have a fully featured account at no cost to Mautic. We have found Slack to be well-integrated and effective, and it has been great for growing our community.

Slack provides seamless transitions in your work and communication between all of your devices.

Take the Slack tour for a full description of the features and benefits, as well as tips for getting the most out of the your communication platform.

Why not move to XYZ other platform rather than Slack, you might be saying? Please read this article where we explain our decision to stay with Slack, which the Council reviews periodically.
