Zulip
Zulip is an open-source team chat platform built around threaded conversations. Unlike Slack or Teams where messages flow in a single stream per channel, Zulip organises discussions into topics within streams, making it far easier to follow multiple conversations without losing context. It is popular with remote teams, open-source communities, and organisations that need structured communication.
When integrated with your other business tools, Zulip becomes a central hub for operational awareness. Osher Digital connects Zulip to project management systems, monitoring tools, CRMs, and deployment pipelines so that important updates arrive in the right topic thread automatically. A deployment notification lands in the engineering stream under a deployment topic. A new customer enquiry appears in the sales stream. Nothing gets buried in a noisy general channel.
Common integration patterns include posting alerts from monitoring tools like UptimeRobot or Grafana, syncing task updates from project management platforms, forwarding filtered emails into specific Zulip topics, and triggering workflows from Zulip messages using bot commands. These structured integrations reduce context-switching and keep teams focused.
If your team communication is scattered across too many channels or important updates keep getting missed in chat noise, our AI consulting team can design a Zulip-based communication architecture that keeps everything organised and actionable.
