Remember the work assigned to you in Slack
When a channel message clearly assigns you a task, Notis can place it in Habitica with a short description of the outcome and any stated timing.
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
Ownership can be explicit in a thread but invisible in the personal system you use to plan your day.
- Collect work assigned to you in one place.
- Keep the expected outcome attached to the task.
- Avoid treating general team discussion as your personal assignment.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Habitica to Notis once.
- 2Create an automation through the portal or by asking Notis.
- 3Write one instruction asking Notis to create a Habitica task only when a Slack channel message clearly assigns work to you, preserving the outcome and any stated deadline.
- 4Select the Slack channel message trigger and choose where Notis reports runs.
- 5Test with one real channel message that assigns you a specific task.
Questions about this workflow
Will it capture tasks assigned to other people?
Tell Notis to capture only assignments explicitly directed to you.
What if a message has no deadline?
The task can still be created without a due date.
