Make delegated work visible to its owner
Turn a task handoff into a visible Slack update, so the next person does not have to discover it later.
Trigger
New Task Created
Trigger when a new task is added to Todoist.
Action
Post message to channel
Deprecated: posts a message to a slack channel, direct message, or private channel. use `send message` instead.
Why this helps
Delegated work can sit unseen when the handoff is recorded in Todoist but the owner is not looking there.
- Make ownership and next steps easier to see
- Reduce manual pings after delegation
- Create a shared reference for team follow-up
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Todoist and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create a new automation in the portal or tell Notis to announce newly created delegated tasks in Slack.
- 3Use one plain-language instruction to explain how to recognize delegated work and what the update should tell its owner.
- 4Select the Todoist New Task Created trigger, pick a channel for run reports, then test with one real delegated task.
