to Connect Team Chat and Project Management with the Pumble + Plaky Integration"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Most managers rely on <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/team-communication-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">team communication apps<\/a> like Pumble by CAKE.com to organize and track their team members\u2019 daily activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">But, if you\u2019re trying to organize your team\u2019s workload, you\u2019d be better served by a project management app like Plaky by CAKE.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In fact, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/integrations\/plaky\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pumble + Plaky integration<\/a>, you can even connect your team chat and project management platforms to track your team more easily and boost efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">But, before we tell you how the integration works and how you can make the most of it, let\u2019s look at the consequences of using disconnected tools for team communication and project management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group key-takeaways\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Investing in communication and project management tools that are seamlessly integrated is the best way to ensure effective team collaboration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Disconnected communication and project management tools slow down teams, leading to forgotten tasks, reduced accountability, and wasted time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">The CAKE.com ecosystem \u2014 consisting of the team communication app, Pumble, the project management platform, Plaky, and the time tracking software, Clockify \u2014 can help you keep track of your team members and organize their workload without having to frequently switch tabs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Pumble serves as the main hub of the CAKE.com ecosystem, letting you connect team chat and project management with the help of the Pumble Plaky integration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-cross-functional-teams-should-avoid-disconnected-tools\" class=\"wp-block-heading translation-block\">Why cross-functional teams should avoid disconnected tools<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Not having your basic collaboration tools, like your team chat and project management platforms, connected can lead to <strong>fragmented processes and siloed workflows<\/strong>, resulting in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Forgotten tasks<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Loss of task ownership and accountability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Wasted time and resources<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">So, if you\u2019re trying to optimize workflows across your organization, analyzing the tools you\u2019re using should be the natural first step of the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Though most of the tools your employees are using are independent apps, <strong>your core team collaboration software ecosystem<\/strong> should also be able to work in tandem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">That includes <strong>communication tools<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pumble<\/a>, <strong>project management platforms<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Plaky<\/a>, and even <strong>time tracking apps<\/strong> like <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clockify<\/a> \u2014 but we\u2019ll talk more about how those 3 work together later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">For now, let\u2019s focus on what happens when you can\u2019t connect team chat and project management platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Simply put, having to switch between two tools made by entirely different software companies could seriously affect your team\u2019s ability to focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Instead of being able to freely communicate while also keeping an eye on their workload, employees and managers alike have to <strong>put conversations and tasks on hold<\/strong> as they try to uncover:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">When different tasks and projects are due.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Who\u2019s in charge of different tasks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">What the status of different projects is.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">All of this <strong>slows down your team\u2019s progress<\/strong>, which can <strong>affect your financial bottom line<\/strong> and, consequently, the <strong>overall success of your business<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">So, ask yourself: is your current team collaboration software ecosystem helping or hindering your team?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">To give you a hint, let\u2019s talk about how the Pumble Plaky integration can elevate your team\u2019s workflows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark pumble-gradient-bundle\">\n    <div

the Pumble + Plaky integration works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Communication and project management are two sides of the same coin, with one process generating work while the other organizes it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">So, it\u2019s easy to see why connecting the tools that enable these processes might be beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Pumble Plaky integration can reduce context switching<\/strong> and help you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul

class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">So, how can this integration help you reduce context switching between tools and maintain project velocity?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s simple: you and your team will have one less platform to obsessively check throughout the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019re already checking your email and your communication app daily, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Well, if that app is Pumble, and you decide to connect it with Plaky,

accountability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">As part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/cake.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAKE.com<\/a> ecosystem, both tools share a unified <a href=\"https:\/\/account.cake.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CAKE.com account<\/a> to synchronize user information like emails and profile images across the two platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, users can <strong>easily assign task ownership on Plaky<\/strong>, as long as they already know the assignee\u2019s name and image on Pumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">If Milo already knew who was usually in charge of visual assets or if he had already spoken to the person on Pumble, he\u2019d be able to more easily assign the task to them on Plaky.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"

or a subscriber, they, too, will receive updates through the Plaky integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Basically, <strong>the integration will notify users of any changes made to Plaky items they are subscribed to via a Pumble message<\/strong> specifying the types of changes that have been made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">On top of that, <strong>changes to Plaky items can also be reviewed through the Activity log within the item card<\/strong>, which can help teams maintain accountability and ownership of the tasks they worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">For example, if several people are working on a single Plaky item, they can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Separate the work into more manageable tasks with subitems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Track who made which changes in the Activity log.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Use status changes and comments to check in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">\n<div class=\"banner

But, when you\u2019re <strong>managing communication and collaboration on cross-functional teams<\/strong>, it can be difficult to keep everyone completely aligned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In the interest of hitting those deadlines, you may even feel <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/blog\/stop-micromanaging-your-remote-team\/\"

wp-block-paragraph\">After all, the <strong>Pumble Plaky integration can help you let go of the need to constantly double check the status of the items<\/strong> you\u2019re waiting to hear about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">When there\u2019s a status change on the Plaky items you\u2019re subscribed to, you\u2019ll hear about it through Pumble \u2014

class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">How about two?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">As we have previously established, Pumble and Plaky are actually two thirds of the CAKE.com ecosystem, with the final third being the world-renowned time tracking app, Clockify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being a <strong>dependable time tracker<\/strong>, Clockify by CAKE.com also lets you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Submit and approve <strong>timesheets.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Set <strong>budgets and hourly rates<\/strong> for different projects.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Visualize and block out your time with a calendar view.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Track time spent on different apps, websites, and documents.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Set up a <strong>kiosk clock-in device<\/strong> to track employee work and break time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Analyze and export data with <strong>reporting<\/strong> features.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Just like Pumble and Plaky, Clockify is a <strong>completely self-sufficient app<\/strong> that doesn\u2019t actually need the other parts of the CAKE.com ecosystem to function.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Yet, there are many <strong>benefits to connecting these 3 productivity tools<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">For one, Plaky\u2019s Clockify integration lets you <a href=\"https:\/\/plaky.com\/help\/integrations\/track-time-in-plaky\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">start your time tracker within Plaky<\/a>, making time tracking just a bit more convenient for your team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/pumble.com\/integrations\/clockify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clockify\u2019s integration on Pumble<\/a> lets you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"translation-block\">Get <strong>time tracking reminders<\/strong> when you track less than the required number of hours.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"translation-block\"><strong>Approve or deny<\/strong> your team members\u2019 PTO or sick leave requests.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li

can make you and your team waste precious time and energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">Having to navigate across different platforms in search of answers or updates takes focus away from what really matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"translation-block wp-block-paragraph\">But, creating a sense of cohesion and connection between your core tools doesn\u2019t have to
