Use SmartSuite? You NEED to Know How to Use the Ply Extension...
If you've recently jumped ship to SmartSuite, chances are the sleek design caught your eye. It's hard to miss, right? With its ample white space, crisp fonts, and an interface boasting those fashionably rounded corners, it's almost like work management software with a touch of sex appeal. Yes, you heard that right—it's the type of digital charm that snags your attention. But even with all this eye candy on display, did you know you could rev up SmartSuite's looks even more to match your personal workflow? That's what I'm diving into today.
Transforming SmartSuite with Ply: A Design Makeover
While SmartSuite dazzles users with its visually appealing interface, there's room for customization—thanks to a strategic partnership with Ply. Ply empowers you to integrate custom buttons, icons, and various interface tweaks that SmartSuite hasn't baked in. Take, for example, the earlier screenshot featuring the "Add to Google Calendar" button—that's Ply's handiwork, merged so seamlessly into SmartSuite it looks native. Go ahead and tweak the font here and colors there... Voilà! It becomes indistinguishable from its surroundings—blending in is Ply's party trick.
"Just because SmartSuite is aesthetically pleasing already doesn't mean you can't dial it up to fit your workflow perfectly."
Ply: The Early Stage Startup Shaping Your SmartSuite Experience
Ply, while still in its early startup phase, packs a punch by enabling you to inject elements into your existing tools with finessed integration. What's really cool about those Ply-enabled buttons? They're like magic wands for your workflow—setting off a domino effect of automated actions, modals, pop-ups, and even AI assistance to carry you through your next steps. Aimed primarily for internal use, Ply is a tool that's as versatile as it is innovative.
Sweetening the Deal: Ply’s Irresistible Price Tag
Now for the clincher—Ply is currently free. That's right, free! Combining a no-cost SmartSuite account with Ply's complimentary offer means you're setting up for workflow wizardry without even opening your wallet. If witnessing the time-saving wizardry I'll showcase later doesn't tempt you to sign on the dotted line, I'm not sure what will. So, huge thanks to SmartSuite for sponsoring and strategically partnering to bring this extension into the light.

Setting the Stage with SmartSuite and Ply
Before we get into the nuts and bolts of syncing SmartSuite with Ply, let me provide a sneak peek at what these Ply features do. Picture an IT helpdesk within SmartSuite—say we have a Ply-crafted button labeled "Request Missing Info." Tap it, and Ply assesses the current record, autogenerates an email draft to the client to gather additional details based on preset triggers. No extra keystrokes, no manual email drudgery.
Take another case—a Ply-placed icon in the time-off requests area of SmartSuite. Hit the icon, and boom, the leave request is immortalized on the company calendar instantly. Flick back to your Google Calendar, and there it stands, a new event added without a stroke of typing on your end.
