Many apps are vital for supporting employees\u2019 daily tasks, but the drag of switching between solutions (and loss of focus and momentum that can accompany app switching) is a time thief. In fact, RingCentral research found that 69% of employees waste up to an hour each day (a total of 32 days per year) navigating between apps.<\/p>\n\t\t<style>\r\n\t\t\t@media (min-width: 768px) {\r\n\t\t\t\t.bottom-cta .bottom-cta-img {\r\n\t\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\r\n\t\t\t\t\twidth: 50%;\r\n\t\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.bottom-cta .bottom-cta-img img {\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.bottom-cta {\r\n\t\t\t\tbackground: #001138;\r\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 30px;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.bottom-cta .bottom-cta-copy {\r\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 0 30px;\r\n\t\t\t\toverflow: hidden;\r\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #fff;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\r\n\t\t\t.bottom-cta .bottom-cta-copy .btn-primary {\r\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\r\n\t\t\t}\r\n\t\t<\/style>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"bottom-cta  CID-cta-2FdM5dTp IID-cta-6a0a8dc1decdc\"\r\n\t\t\tdata-dl-custom-type=\"cta\">\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bottom-cta-img\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/connection-ebook-1.jpg\" alt=\"Call to action banner\">\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"bottom-cta-copy\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<span style=\"font-size: 24px; line-height: 30px;\">Avoid app overload by bringing business tools together in one place.<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"text-center\" style=\"display: block;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<a class=\"rc-cta-shortcode btn btn-primary btn-lg\" data-dl-element=\"button\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"btn btn-primary btn-lg\" style=\"margin-top: 16px; font-weight: bold;\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\ttitle=\"Read the eBook\" href=\"\/gb\/en\/blog\/leading-contact-centre-teams-through-change-report\/\" target=\"_blank\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\trel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-dl-additional-info=\"Avoid app overload by bringing business tools together in one place.\"\r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-dl-name=\"Avoid app overload by bringing business tools together in one place. | Download the eBook\">Download the eBook<\/a>\r\n\t\t\t<\/span>\r\n\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t<div class=\"clearfix\"><\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\n<h2><b>The power of RingCentral Add-ins<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>While RingCentral is ultimately about making it easier for people to connect and do their best work, there\u2019s a lot more involved in collaboration than just talk. Tasks such as signing documents, updating the status of a project or tagging a teammate, changing due dates and receiving notifications are no less important. Optimal collaboration requires employees to be able to perform this work seamlessly.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where RingCentral Add-ins comes in.<\/p>\n<p>With our intuitive App Gallery available directly within the RingCentral app, it\u2019s easy to add the must-have tools employees use every day, such as\u00a0 Jira, DocuSign, Trello and more. Once installed, users can take action directly within their messages. They allow teams to automate their customised workflows to drive efficiency and productivity, allowing employees to access vital tools without losing time or context to app toggling.<\/p>\n<h2><b>How do RingCentral Add-ins work?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>RingCentral Add-ins are built on the open-standard Adaptive Card Framework, which has a large developer community and is very intuitive to develop on. This makes it simple to embed a variety of rich media content, including videos, carousels, complex layouts, forms for data collection and visibility toggles.<\/p>\n<p>RingCentral offers a full developer framework for Add-ins, along with reference implementations, to make building custom Add-ins straightforward. With our Add-ins APIs and webhooks, developers can quickly and easily manage user feedback and push updates.<\/p>\n<p>Whether for a team of one or 100, it\u2019s simple to implement the functionalities needed all in one place.<\/p>\n<h2><b>Doing more is easier than ever<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019re excited to roll out our Add-in integrations with Akazio, BugSnag, GitHub, Keeper AI, and Trello, all available now. And stay tuned for Add-ins with Aisera, Bridge OC, DocuSign, Genesis, Hubspot, Jira, Liquid Voice, Prodoscore, RingClone, and RSI, which we will release soon.<\/p>\n<p>Visit our\u00a0<a
