Introduction
Mentorloop connects with the tools you already use, so mentoring fits naturally into your day rather than feeling like something extra to manage. This module walks through the integrations available and how to get each one set up.
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?
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 — connect your Zoom or Microsoft Teams account from the Integrations section of your account settings 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. To set up push notifications, download the app and allow notifications when prompted.
Note: push notifications apply to MQS and post-meeting surveys. The closed-loop survey is completed from within the loop itself and is not triggered by a push notification.
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, these integrations help mentoring fit naturally into your day.
Reflection task
Log into Mentorloop on the mobile app or in your browser, connect your calendar, and set your availability from your Integrations settings.
