Something I’ve wanted for some time was the ability for the system to help begin work when you start actions that use URLs or features in the platform. Now you can with task actions such as “check comms”, “check Basecamp” (any tool name you’ve declared in comms will work), “review pull request” (with the link in the notes), or “do shutdown”.
I plan to use it to make my comms both more reliably done and better time boxed. In initial testing, I’ve been surprised to see how much more focused it has made me in doing the actual thing since I don’t need to look at or close out any open tabs - I just get it done!
You can find out a lot more about it in our update announcement in the help system.
PS: As a bonus, if you have your calendar synced, meeting urls should now just open up for you (i.e. zoom and or teams)
Advanced PS: on the Mac you can use shortcuts and the shortcut URL to actually launch any other apps
Advanced PPS: I plan to use Bunch app to better help me get into and out of deep work zones and collaboration zones.
