Give privately delegated work a visible place
When a Slack DM clearly delegates a task to you, create a Breeze card with the expected next step and any stated deadline.
Trigger
Direct Message Received
Triggered when a new direct message (DM) is sent to a user in Slack. Catches all DMs across all DM channels.
Action
Create Card
Tool to create a new card in a project. use after confirming the project id. creates a task with details like name, due date, and assignees.
Why this helps
Work assigned in a one-to-one message can be missed when attention shifts to channel conversations.
- Make delegated tasks visible with the rest of your work.
- Keep the expected outcome attached to the task.
- Avoid relying on unread DMs as a reminder system.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Breeze to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or tell Notis to capture tasks clearly delegated to you in Slack DMs.
- 3Write a single plain-language instruction to record the requested outcome and stated deadline; select the direct-message trigger.
- 4Pick a report channel and test with a real, low-sensitivity delegated request.
Questions about this workflow
Does it include tasks addressed to someone else?
Instruct Notis to create a card only when the task is clearly directed to you.
Will it assume a due date?
No. Ask it to include a deadline only when the message states one.
