Carry Slack decisions into your action list
When a Slack message records a decision and a concrete action for you, Notis can capture the action in Habitica so the decision leads to follow-through.
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 team can settle on a decision and still lose the next action in the flow of discussion.
- Turn a settled decision into a visible next action.
- Keep the task tied to the decision context.
- Skip announcements that have no action for you.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Habitica to Notis once in the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or ask Notis conversationally.
- 3In one plain-language instruction, ask Notis to create a Habitica task when a Slack channel message records a decision and a concrete next step for you.
- 4Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
- 5Test with one real decision message that includes your next action.
Questions about this workflow
Does every decision create a task?
The instruction should limit task creation to decisions with a concrete action for you.
Can the task keep the decision context?
Ask Notis to include a brief context note in the task description.
