With Dispatch priority inbox you can...
✔ Stop missing messages
✔ Focus on your top priorities
✔ Prioritize messages based on sender, channel, message content, and more
Hello hunters!
@cathy_chen, @danielde, and I are super excited to share that as of today Dispatch is out of private beta.
This means anyone can sign up and start using Dispatch as their priority inbox for Slack!
How we got here:
We started building Dispatch after experiencing the "always on" chaotic culture of modern work at our last jobs. We were constantly juggling messages, to-dos, and tickets. We wanted to focus on our top priorities without risking things slipping through the cracks.
In a flood of messages, we struggled to answer the question:
"What's the most important thing that I need to see right now?"
And so we built Dispatch.
How it works:
• Treat conversations as to-dos. Archive them when you're done to achieve inbox zero.
• Noisy conversations? Mute them so you can get back in the zone.
• Blocked on something? Snooze a conversation until you’re ready to take action on it.
• Prioritize messages based on sender, channel, keywords, and more… so that you can focus on your highest priorities.
What you can expect:
✔ Stop missing messages
✔ Focus on your top priorities
✔ Get more done in less time

Thank you to all our early users and PH community for your feedback after our last launch. We've since been working hard on improving Dispatch. We couldn’t have gotten here without y’all. ❤️
That said, we're still in the early days, and have much yet to learn. So if you live in Slack, we’d love to hear about your challenges, and how Dispatch could help.
👉 Give it a try here 👈 – macOS only – Windows coming soon!
@cathy_chen@danielde@stedmanblake , **Congrats on the launch** , very clear idea. I believe it's a game changer for those who use Slack heavily for community or customer management
super excited about this!!! have been waiting for the public launch for months. now I can get my whole team onboarded 🙌
congrats!! @cathy_chen@danielde@stedmanblake 🎉
Oh wow does this work across multiple slacks? I'm in way too many rn and the notifications are so intimidating that I'm usually hesitant to even open a lot of them at this point.
I've been a daily Dispatch user for the past 4 months and it's taken my Slack game to the next level.
The simple stuff (like snoozing messages to custom times + much easier than native Slack) has been so helpful for managing and properly prioritizing the hundreds of channels I'm in.
At ZenPilot, we run all of our client support on Slack and Dispatch has been a key tool in the tech stack.
Big congrats to @stedmanblake, @cathy_chen, & @danielde on the launch here and move out of private beta 🙌
Wow super excited to see how far this has been developed so far. This threaded organization system seems to be a total game changer. Two questions: 1) when is a mobile app coming? 2) how do you know how to prioritize which messages?
Hey @connorzwick -- yeah it's come a long way since you tried our alpha version so long ago!
1) when is a mobile app coming?
Mobile app is coming later this year! Very popular feature. I'll let you konw when it drops on TestFlight.
2) how do you know how to prioritize which messages?
Dispatch makes it easy to prioritize messages based on sender, channel, keyword, user type (guest, bot, etc), and more.

Thanks @chintanparikh94! Your feedback has been incredibly helpful - Dispatch would not be where it is today without you 🙇♂️ It's been an absolute pleasure to work with you and help streamline your Slack comms
@the_esc
1/ separating the *highest priority* messages from everything else
*Prioritization*: Dispatch let's you create separate inboxes for each "bucket of work" that you get in Slack.
Messages from customers, DMs from teammates, and important bot notifications can all be routed to custom inboxes based on Rules. https://www.dispatch.do/articles...
2/ keeping track of the *status* of tasks and to-dos that come in as chat messages
*Keeping track of messages*: with Dispatch, all messages stay in your inbox until you've explicitly taken action on them:
- marking them ✔️ Done
- or 🕥 Snoozing them until later
Thanks for the kind words Henrik! We've loved building Dispatch alongside you - and your kind words make all our hard work worth it 🤗 🙏 @henrik_lenerius
