Show notes

Daylist

Daylist integrates to-do lists into individual calendars. Within each calendar event on Daylist, users are able to plan the sequence of tasks for that event and access the resources (such as files, URLs or emails) required to perform each of these tasks.

Zombie Club PowerPoint asset builder

This Office add-in pairs a Task pane with a Content viewer to allow for a dynamic selection and creation of video assets that can be done directly in PowerPoint. Data is housed with newly created domains of AllNightAtThe.Club and ZombieApocalypsePreparation.Club.

Yes-Reply

Sometimes, people prefer to just respond to an email and say: “unsubscribe,” “I have some questions,” “I’d like a group discount” or “I am having a problem.” With Yes-Reply we can classify the action and create entries in the CRM turning auto-response into actionable data!

MetroMail

MetroMail extracts out all the attachments from the email inbox and creates a nice gallery of it (for images and any multimedia). MetroMail sorts all the documents and layouts it with nice preview for easy access, it identifies important documents like bills / invoices and lets you make the payments from within the inbox! It just makes the life easy!
