Here's what's new in our User Research CRM. Continue reading for details on our three newest updates, plus our latest improvements and bug fixes.

Notifications in Slack

You can now receive real-time updates in Slack when participants complete screeners, submit consent forms, or sign up for interviews. Within Rally, you can choose which actions you receive notifications for and what method, either via Slack or email. To choose your preferences and stay up-to-date on these participant actions, make sure to link your Slack and email accounts to Rally.

Sync data from Snowflake to Rally

Say hello to our latest data warehouse integration: Snowflake. Now, People Who Do Research (PWDR) can query participant data using Rally’s advanced filtering UI without the need to learn SQL or be dependent on a data science team. With this integration, you can sync columns in your Snowflake tables directly to properties within Rally. Follow these steps to integrate your Snowflake account to Rally now.

New way to invite your team to Rally

Adding your team members to a new tool can be a time consuming task added to your already extensive to-do list. Now, with Rally's new onboarding flow, you simply invite your team to join, and Rally handles the rest. Your team members will be seamlessly guided through the setup and account activation, saving you both time and effort.
