Why this helps
A task may record what to do while the Slack decision that explains why gets lost in the conversation.
- Keep decision context accessible from Slack.
- Reduce repeated questions about why work is happening.
- Help preserve useful project history.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Checkvist and Slack once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, or tell Notis to create it from any channel.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to identify the Slack message with the decision relevant to a specified Checkvist task and star it.
- 4Pick a webhook trigger and choose where run reports should go.
- 5Test with one real task and its decision message.
