Why this helps
Small tasks can vanish from shared awareness because each one feels too minor to announce manually.
- Keep small but useful actions from disappearing
- Reduce the effort of reporting each quick win
- Help collaborators see progress between larger milestones

- 1Connect Todoist and Slack to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal or ask Notis to share newly captured quick-win tasks in Slack.
- 3Describe in one plain-language instruction what counts as a team-relevant small task and how concise the update should be.
- 4Choose the Todoist New Task Created trigger, a channel for run reports, and test with a real quick-win task.
