Hi everyone. I’m Phil, co-founder at Missive. For those who don’t know us, we're a small team of three developers located in Quebec City, Canada. You might know Missive as a collaborative email client. Today, we're shipping a big new update, one that extends the reach of Missive beyond email with social media, SMS and a new API! The addition of social media mailboxes (Twitter @mentions and DM, Facebook Pages Messenger) and SMS (via Twilio) brings us one step closer to breaking the many silos between your various communication channels. We are also excited about the introduction of our API that will let Missive users enrich their conversations with data from other apps (e.g. notifications from Github, Stripe, Canny etc.). Our main goal is to convince teams to move away from their lonely email client and chaotic chat app and break the silos between external and internal communication once and for all.

@plehoux This is fantastic! For anyone wondering if Missive is worth a look, I switched my team to it several months ago - after trying tons of options - and I'm SO glad I did. Philippe and his team are super responsive too...they fixed a couple small bugs I reported on the demo call in a couple days, and the new features just keep coming. Keep up the great work guys!

This is so cool! So now, you're replacing Zoho/Google Apps, Slack AND Hootsuite???? You guys are AWESOME!!! Can schedule social media posts with it as well?

@julienbrault1 At the moment, it works only for replies. Next week update will let you create and send Tweets and SMS too, using the Send later functionality will let you schedule. Obviously, there are better software for this use case, but if your needs are simple it should do the trick.

@plehoux That's super cool. Will try to convince my co-founders to ditch Slack.

Try swiping multiple messages on mobile, you'll be amazed!

Pros:

- One tool to rule them all (email, chat, social)

- Powerful (collaboration, comments, rules, API, etc)

- Fast, very fast.

- Mobile app

Cons:

None that I can think of.

Wow...I use Ubuntu 18 and a pity not to have a native APP for linux. I was reading about email signatures. In (Rich text & HTML signatures) [https://missiveapp.com/blog/new-...] --- I work at Bybrand, (an APP to manage email signature), Does it exist in the future, a way to update signature via API?

@bernardocastro Thanks for your feedback! Linux client will not be done short-term and here are the reasons: - Not enough demand - Maintaining cost, each release needs to be tested, as a team of 3 where no one uses Linux, this would take too much of our time - We're absolute Linux n00b... You can still use the web version. > Does it exist in the future, a way to update signature via API? Maybe, it's a good suggestion.

@plehoux Thanks, I understand perfectly.

@plehoux maybe an Electron client would be a solution as it is not OS dependent... ? disclaimer: I work with Linux/Ubuntu ;)

@guandroz We're already using Electron for Mac and Windows. But the reality is even though it doesn't seem like much work, we can't strain our 3 people team ressource on this, given the low demand.
Guillaume Androz
@plehoux I understand :+1: BTW, that's awesome to ear you're based here in QC city !

We all know email is here to stay, especially the guys at Missive. That’s probably why they decided to wrap everything around it and bring it next level especially for collaboration.

Pros:

- Real Email Collaboration

- Responsive Team

- Multi-swipe on mobile

- API

- Fast release life cycle

- Lots of little neat details

Cons:

The only one I can’t see is no native Linux App, I’ve lots of colleagues that are on Linux. But no big deal since it’s 100% Web Based

Missive is one of my favorite tools. We've been using it for over a year, and it just keeps getting better and better! I'm going to plug in our social accounts now.

Absolutely love Missive, we’ve been using for over a year since we started the company and I can’t imagine achieving our day to day without it. Previously heavily used Slack and email, but the inability to combine external and internal comms was always such a killer, Missive absolutely nailed this for us. Also super excited to dig into the newly released API as that’s the one thing we missed about Slack. Strong work from such a great team, must come and say hello next time I’m in QC!
