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.
