1.Captures new saved message
Integrate Slack and message parsing tools to capture saved message text and permalink for creating the task context.
Create task entries from starred team messages with context
Automatically watch saved message star added events across Slack. Create tasks when starred messages appear, when a permalink gets captured, or when message context is availableβso you can extract titles, set due dates, and create task records without manual data entry.
How this automation turns starred notes into trackable tasks
When saved message stars are added, manual copy and typing delays get lost in Slack. This automation captures message text and permalinks, extracts a concise title, and creates Google Tasks with notes and due datesβso your team can stay organized automatically.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
