👋Slack integration

Create an Ellie task from a Slack message

What can the integration do?

At the moment, you can use the integration to create a task from a message. Simply click the "more menu" located to the right of any task and a "Create a task" option should appear.

Create a task

Once you click "Create a task", a modal should appear that lets you add details before adding it as a task. You can even add it directly to a list!

Create task modal

Once a task is created, you'll see a new slack icon appear on the task as well as a deep link to go directly to the message.

Future plans for this feature?

As of now, I don't have any other plans for this feature except improving the "Create task" functionality by supporting things like attachments. If you have any ideas, please request them on our feedback board!
