Just like communication among the members of a community can bring a new perspective on things, communication between your business apps can offer you new possibilities!

In this edition of our community digest, we are focusing on our Slack integration.



By integrating your Zoho Subscriptions account with your preferred Slack channel, your team gets notified automatically about important events like lost opportunities and payment failures, to help you reduce churn.

This section is our favorite—it's exclusively for sharing the success stories of our customers, one customer at a time. In this edition, we would like to share the story of Reeder Media, a digital agency based out of California.

Reeder Media cut down their processing time on subscription renewals by 75% and eliminated postage charges completely after adopting Zoho Subscriptions for their billing. Read the complete story.

If you'd like to have your business featured on this section, let us know in the comments and we will get in touch with you!

Before we wind up, we have some good news to share—Zoho Subscriptions has been recognized as a High Performer by G2, the popular software review site, among other accolades! Check out the full list of awards. Show us some social media love while you're there—retweets will bring a big smile to our face! This recognition would never have been possible without you, so a huge thanks to every one of our customers.

Stay tuned for our next edition of #CommunityDigest!

You can also follow us on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook to stay up to date.

Until next time,
