Introduction
While having one centralised space for mentoring to take place and be tracked is tremendously powerful, being able to seamlessly weave mentoring into your existing tech ecosystem is key to making it more accessible. Mentorloop's suite of integrations, and the free mobile app, enables you to do just that, wherever you are.
By the end of this module, you'll be able to:
- Connect your calendar so you never miss a meeting
- Use Microsoft Teams or Zoom to launch video meetings directly from your loop
- Get all notifications in one place via Slack
- Download the Mentorloop mobile app and enable push notifications for surveys
How can I integrate Mentorloop into my working day?
Mentorloop connects with the tools you already use. Here is a quick overview of what's available, the video below walks through the setup steps for each.
- Mobile app — download the free Mentorloop app on iOS or Android to access your loop anywhere.
- Calendar — connect Google, iCloud, Office 365, Exchange, or Outlook.com to schedule sessions and stay on top of meetings without switching apps.
- Video meetings — link your Zoom or Microsoft Teams account to launch calls directly from within your loop.
- Slack — receive mentoring notifications and complete surveys without leaving Slack.
Push notifications for surveys
With the mobile app installed and push notifications enabled, you'll be automatically prompted to complete your MQS and post-meeting surveys from your device, no need to log in separately. This is the quickest way to make sure your feedback gets captured. To set up push notifications, download the app and allow notifications when prompted.
Conclusion
Connecting Mentorloop to your existing tools removes the friction from mentoring. Whether you're checking in via the mobile app, scheduling sessions through your calendar, or catching notifications in Slack, the integrations in this module help mentoring fit naturally into your day, rather than feeling like something extra to manage.
