Keep Slack Project Deadlines Visible in Hub Planner

When the team agrees on a meaningful project date in Slack, Notis can add it as a milestone so everyone has a visible point to plan toward.

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 Milestone

Tool to create a new milestone for a project in Hub Planner. Use when you need to set up a milestone with a specified name, date, and project association.

Why this helps

Dates agreed in a fast-moving conversation are easy to forget when work shifts back to other priorities.

  • Preserve agreed dates in the project planning space.
  • Make upcoming deliverables easier to spot during capacity planning.
  • Avoid rereading long threads to recover a deadline.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Slack and Hub Planner to Notis once through the portal.
  • 2Create an automation with one plain-language instruction to add clearly agreed project dates as milestones.
  • 3Choose the Slack channel message trigger and a channel for run reports.
  • 4Test using one real message with an agreed project name and date.

Questions about this workflow

Can this handle any date mentioned in Slack?

The instruction should tell Notis to act only on explicit, agreed project deadlines.

What if the project is unclear?

Ask Notis in the instruction to skip ambiguous messages instead of creating a milestone.
