Keep Slack commitments on your Habitica list
When you commit to a concrete next step in a Slack channel, Notis can create a Habitica task with a concise description and a useful due date when one is stated.
Trigger
Channel Message Received
Triggered when a message is posted in a Slack channel (public, private, or multi-party IM). Does NOT match direct messages.
Action
Create Task
Tool to create a new user task in Habitica. Use after gathering task details like text, type, and optional properties.
Why this helps
A commitment can disappear beneath newer Slack messages before it makes it onto a trusted task list.
- Keep clear commitments in one visible task list.
- Reduce the need to reread busy channel threads.
- Preserve stated deadlines without adding invented urgency.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Habitica to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3Use one instruction: create a Habitica task from my Slack channel message when I explicitly commit to a concrete next step; keep the task concise and include a deadline only if I stated one.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real Slack message that contains a clear commitment.
Questions about this workflow
Will every Slack message become a task?
No. Instruct Notis to create tasks only when the message contains your explicit commitment to a concrete next step.
Does it invent due dates?
The prompt tells Notis to use a deadline only when you stated one.
