For the PH Exclusive beta, we have integrated Trello and Google Calendar with Slack. You can create Trello cards and Google Calendar events from a Slack conversation.
@vinodhdavid Is this like an IFTTT interface atop Hubot? I like the promise of making chat apps and third-party services integrations easier, just curious!
@hopkinschris it's like Hubot more connected to third party apps which is easy to setup and use. Just making it easier to move data from chat to all your favourite services.
This looks great, @vinodhdavid. This would be particularity useful on mobile.
We've chatted a bit over the months as you've explored other ideas in this area. What's drawing you to build products in productivity/communication?
@rrhoover Good question. I believe people are going to use different apps for different purposes and its never going to stop but its not well integrated. I am trying to be the guy to put em together. I am very much excited on solving this problem because its tricky to find the balance and I am a huge fan of doing stuffs the smart way, that actually drives to me innovate in this space.
@vinodhdavid@rrhoover This would be great if I could add task to trello, events to my calendar, or interact with any other productivity service I use via one messaging app. Slack is a great place to start. I agree with @vindhdavid, we have so many different productivity apps but they aren't very well integrated. Interested to see where this goes.
@BlendahTom We are a huge fan of Zapier but I feel its the product vision that is different :) But we are all on connecting different services. @WadeFoster
@vinodhdavid@BlendahTom this is cool. Do stuff like this with Slack, Trello and Zapier all the time. :-)

Fantastic! Any plans to have query responses? It be cool to be able to @mention + when are you free, and have google calendar return some times. Regardless, it's certainly makes for a more fluid product integration. Well done :D
