How Does Teams Integration Work With Statusbrew?

By integrating Teams with Statusbrew, you will receive real-time notifications for content publishing, community engagement, and admin activities on your chosen channels.

For example:

Team members who don't have access to Statusbrew can stay in the loop of your content creation workflows by receiving notifications for social media content marketing activities with this integration

To better manage your community on social media and improve your brand response times, you can choose to get notified for new messages, comments, and mentions on your social profiles in your desired channel
