Thank you all for attending and asking such great questions!

Fantastic job Daniel, Dee, and all the Syncro folks behind the scenes answering questions (Bobby, Lindsey, Alyssa, Tyler)!

Now it’s your turn to share YOUR best tips with the rest of the community!

Let us know what topics you’d like to learn more about – and if you’d like to present at a session in the future!

Stay tuned to more info on the next session coming soon!

thanks for the session all. Found it useful and I am looking forward to more of them. I was at my previous RMM’s team to do just this sort of thing as it exposes all sorts of nuggets to people.

[Jess]

Thanks for the feedback, Des! We’ll definitely be doing more of this in the future. Glad you were able to join us

[Caitlin]

Thank you @des.quinn - I’m so glad you enjoyed it and excited to see you at the next once (more details coming soon)!

Super great job! There are tons of things and tricks that I wish I had known. This helps a lot. Rather than read the manual, I needed something like this. Previously I was just plunking around and using the few modules that I could figure out. Some of these things I didn’t even think were things that I would use, but now I will. (Like the email campaigning).

The only thing I wish, was to have a Pause button on the Live session because my brain didn’t process the information fast enough for the Road Runner of presentations. Great job and great idea of having these intense sessions. I think this should actually be part of the list of videos that are in the “Training Section” so new users could learn these and get them excited to watch the other training videos after they’ve learned what it takes to get going faster.
Thanks again.

I see this is posted on YouTube. Is it public or only available if you have the link (unlisted). Just curious because the people out in the wild might not benefit but then perhaps you want to show the World so they see how cool we have it and want to join. Just curious.

If there was a particular one(s) you want a deeper drive on let me know. We are trying to add in more Best Practices and Interesting Setups into the official doc center. I did go faster than I prob should have. I was imagining it as informative rather than a “how to”. I might have been ambitious doing 10 in 30 mins .

No, I’m just old. You were great. I know the time was limited and you did a great job presenting. Keep up the good work.
