I reacted to a Slack message about the new project proposal. Can you help me schedule time to work on it?

Got it! I'll summarize the task and find a suitable time for you to work on the project proposal. I'll make sure it ends by 4:00 PM.

Why you should use the Follow-Up Reaction Notifier template:

Effortlessly manage your tasks from Slack by automatically scheduling calendar events. This template helps you prioritize and allocate time for tasks while ensuring you maintain a healthy work-life balance by adhering to a 4:00 PM end time constraint.

How the template works:

This template uses an AI assistant to process your reactions to Slack messages and schedule calendar events accordingly. When you react to a message, the assistant:

  1. Summarizes the task you were asked to do, including your name, Slack ID, role, and company.

  2. Retrieves the entire Slack thread to gather context for the task.

  3. Assesses the urgency and estimated time required for the task, defaulting to 30 minutes if unsure.

  4. Checks your Google Calendar for available time slots that end by 4:00 PM or earlier.

  5. Creates a calendar event with the task summary as the title, a bulleted list of details, a link to the Slack message, and a suggested approach for completing the task, ensuring it respects the 4:00 PM end time constraint.

Capabilities

These capabilities can be customized to best fit your needs.
