Keep list changes visible to collaborators
Make meaningful changes to a working task list easier to notice without asking everyone to check it.
Trigger
Task List Changed
Triggers when a task list changes (title or content updates). This trigger monitors a specific Google Tasks list and fires when changes are detected.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
A reorganized list can change what people expect, while collaborators may never see the update.
- Surface list changes in the team's shared workspace.
- Reduce the need to announce edits manually.
- Help collaborators realign around updated work.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Google Tasks and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to summarize meaningful changes to the selected task list in a Slack channel.
- 4Select Task List Changed as the trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Make a small test change and check the announcement for clarity.

Can I avoid posting minor edits?
