Overall Satisfaction with Notion

Alternatives Considered

Trello

We were using Nation for the whole company and it's amazing, however, for the CS team with the tech/ops we are using Trello. As a CS & Operation manager, the reminders/alarms/notifications are the most important for handling time and minimizing the SLAs, so I created automation on Trello with each ticket category to be alarming and sending notifications to follow up with the concerned.
