If your company uses Slack, you can bring your Count.It challenge action to your Slack workspace.
Stay in the Loop - Challenge updates flow directly into your chosen Slack channel, so everyone sees the latest activity and achievements as they happen.
Quick Check-Ins - Wonder how you're doing compared to your office rival? Just ask the Slack app to show leaderboards or your personal stats—no need to switch apps!
Log on the Fly - Just finished a workout? Log it right in Slack with a simple command. No extra apps needed.
PRO Tip:
The Count.It Slack app is not a replacement for the Count.It mobile app -- they're best used together. Your challengers will still connect fitness trackers via the Count.It mobile app, and there are some features - like the zoomable, scrollable leaderboard — that only exist in the mobile app; but, for companies running Slack, the Count.It Slack app is a no brainer for boosting engagement!
