The problem it solves

Setting up a new channel for every project or client and remembering to post the kickoff message takes a few extra minutes each time. Those small repeated steps add up when you do it often.

Who it fits

Teams using Twist for internal communication who create new channels regularly for projects or clients.

How it works

  1. The process is started to set up a new project or topic
  2. A new channel is created in Twist automatically
  3. The channel is updated with the right name or details
  4. A starter message is posted to the channel automatically
What you get

New project channels ready with a starter message already posted

A new Twist channel gets created and set up with a starter message the moment you kick off a project.

What you get

A ready-to-use Twist channel with an initial message already posted.

What you need

A Twist account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
