Do you ever miss important client messages because everything’s scattered? (thelemmy.club)

Not sure if it’s just me, but I’ve been running into this quite a bit.

My client conversations are spread across different messaging platforms, and sometimes important or more detailed discussions just get buried or overlooked.

It’s not even about the number of messages, it’s the fragmentation that makes it hard to keep track of everything in one flow.

Anyone else dealing with this? How are you keeping track of conversations without things slipping through?

Matrix client that lets you bridge a variety of chat apps. I imagine you’re using slack and at least one of the other messaging apps they support

How does it integrate Slack and WhatsApp, given they don't have official APIs? All reverse engineered?

I am extremely uninformed but here’s what I found for slack

It appears based on the 2nd link that slack may have an API.

I also prefer this approach, but the greatest difficulty lies in integrating GChat, especially after its latest security policies (https://github.com/mautrix/googlechat/issues/115). Do you also face this issue? Any tips/ suggestions for me.

I actually haven’t used beeper in ages. I don’t use many of the chat apps with official bridges other than signal and discord, and Instagram (when I had it) hated that I was bridged and threatened to ban me. Since I’m on iPhone open bubbles bridge isn’t worth setting up for me so I’m not gonna bridge iMessage either. Best of luck with chat and beeper though !! :)
