5pm + Slack + Filter by Zapier + Formatter by Zapier

Create 5pm tasks from new Slack channel messages with keywords

About Formatter by Zapier

Data isn't always in the format you need. Perhaps a date is in International format, but your app needs it in American format. Or maybe you need to Title Case a subject, truncate text for a Tweet, or turn Markdown text into HTML for your blog. Zapier's Formatter tool can help.
