Top 5 Pumble Hidden Gems: Powerful Features to Boost Your Workflow

When it comes to team communication tools, most people use only the basics — sending messages, creating channels, maybe sharing a few files.

But, if you use Pumble, you know its true power lies beneath the surface level features.

Beyond its clean interface and easy setup are additional, powerful features that will help you work faster, stay organized, and eliminate small daily frustrations.

If you want to upgrade from a casual Pumble user to a Pumble power user, this guide is for you.

These 5 Pumble hidden gems will:

• Save you time,
• Boost team productivity, and
• Help you use Pumble effectively.

Let’s start.

#1: Automate your onboarding with default channels

Bringing new teammates into your workspace shouldn’t feel like a repetitive admin task.

Manually adding each new member to your key channels — such as #announcements, #onboarding, or #security — is time consuming and unnecessary when you have a better option.

With Pumble’s default channels feature, you eliminate this step entirely. It automatically adds every new user into the pre-selected default channels.

Default channels may be those related to company-wide announcements, news, confidential information, or anything else you and your team find essential or relevant.

Here’s how to set up default channels in Pumble:

1. Click on your workspace name at the top left corner of your desktop screen.
2. Hover over Workspace settings.
3. Select General settings from the dropdown.
4. Click on the arrow next to Default Channels to expand the group.
5. Add new channels that users will join by default.
6. Cliquez sur Enregistrer pour terminer l'action.

This functionality can be used by workspace owners or admins, and you can select up to 25 default channels.

Additionally, while you are creating a new channel, you can add it to default channels right away by toggling the Add new members button.

#2: Never forget to follow up with message reminders

Getting an important message in the middle of a busy day, when you’re already overwhelmed with your tasks, can be frustrating. What’s even worse is when you forget about said message and fail to follow up — it gets buried and slips your mind.

That’s how small tasks can turn into big problems.

That’s where Pumble’s message reminders will help.

You can set a reminder for yourself for any message on Pumble. You will get a reminder about the message through Pumblebot at the time of your choosing, and no one else on your team will be able to see it.

Here’s how to set up message reminders in Pumble:

1. Hover over the message you want to set up reminders for.
2. Click the three dots (…).
3. Select Remind me about this.
4. Choose when you want to be reminded (available options or custom time).

#3: Add clarity and personality with voice and video messages

Written communication is convenient, but it can’t always convey tone, emotion, and nuance. For example, a short, written message can sometimes sound abrupt or harsh.

That’s where Pumble’s voice and video messages come in handy.

These features help you communicate more effectively and clearly. 

Instead of typing out paragraphs and risk miscommunication or scheduling yet another meeting — record a voice note or a video clip that the other person can listen to at their convenience.

Here’s how to record and send voice and video messages in Pumble:

1. In any conversation or channel, click the microphone (for voice) or clapperboard (for video) icon under the message box.
2. Record your message.
3. Hit send.

In video recordings, you can also share your screen.

#4: Navigate at lightning speed with keyboard shortcuts

Constantly clicking through chats, channels, and menus are seconds that can really add up. And sometimes, it’s just annoying — it disrupts your rhythm, especially if you’re switching between multiple conversations all the time.

Pumble is packed with keyboard shortcuts designed to make your experience faster and smoother. Once you start using them, you’ll wonder how you ever worked without them.

Here are some of the most commonly used Pumble shortcuts:

• Ctrl/Cmd + N: New message.
• Alt/options + Shift + Up: Previous unread channel or DM.
• Alt/options + Shift + Down: Next unread channel or DM.
• Ctrl/Cmd + F: Search in the channel/conversation you’re currently in.
• Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + Y: Update your status.
• Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + M: Setup a new meeting.
• Ctrl/Cmd + /: Keyboard shortcuts sidebar.

2. Go to the Create button in the top-left corner and choose Meeting.
