<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n#1: Automate your onboarding with default channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Bringing new teammates into your workspace shouldn\u2019t feel like a repetitive admin task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Manually adding each new member to your key channels \u2014 such as #announcements<\/em>, #onboarding<\/em>, or #security<\/em> \u2014 is time consuming and unnecessary when you have a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With Pumble\u2019s default channels<\/strong><\/a> feature, you eliminate this step entirely. It automatically adds every new user into the pre-selected default channels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Default channels may be those related to company-wide announcements, news, confidential information, or anything else you and your team find essential or relevant.<\/p>\n\n\n

#2: Never forget to follow up with message reminders<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where Pumble\u2019s message reminders<\/a> will help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
