FAQ

Does Echobell support teams beyond engineering?

Yes. Any team that needs fast mobile alerts can use shared channels and structured templates.

Can we keep existing Atlassian workflows?

Yes. Teams often keep workflow systems and swap in Echobell as the delivery layer.

Is migration all-or-nothing?

No. Channel-by-channel migration works well and limits risk.
