Zulip is an open-source team collaboration tool with unique topic-based threading that combines the best of email and chat to make remote work productive and delightful.

Connecting the service, please note that Zulip doesn’t have a single URL for requests. Therefore, if you are a workspace organizer, use your workspace URL for registration. If you are an invited user, then you will receive an email with your URL. Copy and paste the URL into the Your URL field in the Albato settings.
