today we are talking about the cross-linking abilities inside of twist twist is a application
that we've been using for three years now as a way to team communicate and just keep in
touch with each other but in a much more mindful approach we've partnered with twist today to dive
into this in a series of videos so you can check out a link in description if you're interested
in twist so here I am with our twist account um sort of real time first things first if you
don't know what sort of channels and threads are it's slightly different to other applications so
you've got channels on the left hand side which are sort of just general areas that you can talk
about a certain thing and then in the middle you've got threads we've done a video about
the threads in a bit more detail which you can find as well but what I like about poster inside
of the or threads is they're much more focused on a goal-based work so for example this one a week
43 is our plan for what we have for the coming up week and it's nice because what's great is
its own Focus towards that piece of work but it doesn't limit to what I can link up and connect
up into that thread so if I've got something somewhere else I can use Quick actions and
that's a slash command to access a few different things so I can reference a specific Channel now
this can be quite helpful when you're trying to connect things up like somebody's looking
to find a certain area or they're looking to get started you could use this for employee onboarding
this can be a great way to do it but you can also thread reference and this is something I really
like inside of the application so if I were to go and press plus and I would type in important
dates in October I can link thread which is really helpful because if I go ahead and I post it
and I go ahead and click into it it automatically takes me to that location and what's really nice
is it gives an indicator that it was referenced in these plans so you can keep in always a constant
eye on where it's being referenced and how it's being referenced inside of this communication
now I really like that you can also do this in messages obviously we use messages a lot less
I'd say than the sort of well we use messages a little bit more than threads but it's probably
the same amount actually because we just keep in touch with each other on smaller things like
editing and things like that but you can do the same inside of here and I can remind Key things
that are sort of mean not to be missed for example that can be quite helpful now what's
great as well is you can continue to sort of link up the the referencing channels from here
which is great so if I want to link up editing I can do and I can constantly keep in communication
about what is being said and what's nice as well is when you you're going throughout the posts
say you are doing a trips feature I could be like remember to check important dates
and Link that and then I could say also make sure to post in and I can reference
um this one and it's just a constant way to bring all of your knowledge from existing different
places that may traditionally have been siled into one location which is really really nice
and what's good as well is you can obviously post it to people that matter in your team so if there
are people that you don't want to message about certain things then you can have that notification
sort of Switched on and off which is really nice one thing I mentioned in the last feature is
obviously the one of the great things is you can save threads this is something I do on a quite
routine basis because I like to have a place where it's like favorites or starred and you can see
here that if you ever wanted to move or close that thread you can have it all here so I really like
how this is sort of connected up inside of your account and one thing that I think a lot of people
like is just the ability to be able to sort of set up Integrations with todoist personally it's sort
of been a huge Time Saver when it comes to just making sure things aren't missed whereas in so a
like slack previously found that information were just sort of going up the stream way too fast and
we found that that was a little bit of a tricky thing so I recommend having a look at this and
um seeing what you think of that sort of General connecting up ability and cross-linking in twits
