How Dingtalk works in Shift
Adding Dingtalk to Shift gives you a dedicated app view so you avoid tab clutter and accidental logouts. Shift’s multi-account support keeps work, personal, and multiple org accounts signed in at once, which helps consultants, agency staff, and employees who manage separate teams.
Use Spaces to group Dingtalk with calendar, email, file storage, and project tools so meeting prep, follow-ups, and HR tasks live in one workspace. Shift preserves layout and session state, lets you dock Dingtalk beside Teambition or a document, and restores custom layouts so recurring workspaces return as you left them, reducing time lost rebuilding setups.
