Slack + Filter by Zapier + Formatter by Zapier + Asana

Create Asana tasks and send Slack messages when new Slack messages start with "$request"

Never lose track of a request in Slack again. This integration allows coworkers to specify their message as a request in Slack, simply by starting the message with "$request". When they do, Zapier will auto-create an Asana task so you can keep track of it. Zapier will also send a Slack message, so your team can collaborate on the request.

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.
