Messengers for a Remote Team: Bringing It All Into One Window

Slack for the team, Telegram for clients, Notion for tasks, Zoom for calls — a distributed team can easily rack up 5+ tools. Here's how to bring some order to that.

The problems a remote team runs into

  • Different tools for different jobs. The team talks in Slack, clients message on Telegram, tasks live in Notion, calls happen on Zoom — switching between all of it over a day adds up to dozens of small interruptions.
  • Several projects at once. Freelancers and agencies often run 3-5 projects in parallel, each with its own work chat and its own client channels — without structure it's easy to lose track of which message belongs where.
  • Asynchronous work across time zones. Notifications arrive throughout the day from different sources — it matters not to miss a project message just because it landed in email or Telegram instead of Slack.

How to set up your workspace

  1. Create a folder for each project or client. In Centrio you can group services into folders — for example, a separate folder for each client with its Slack channel, Telegram chat and Notion base.
  2. Add several accounts of the same service. If different projects use different Slack workspaces or different Telegram accounts, add them as separate tabs — each one works independently.
  3. Set notifications by priority. Keep sound and pop-up alerts only for genuinely urgent channels, and check the rest on a schedule — that means fewer interruptions through the day.
  4. Use unified search. Searching across every open service at once saves time when you need to find a message but can't remember which chat it was in.

For teams working across several devices

If you work from different computers — say, a laptop on the road and a workstation at the office — Centrio Pro adds cloud sync for your settings: folders, added services and preferences carry over between devices automatically, with no manual reconfiguration each time.
