Turn Slack messages into Notion tasks automatically
Never miss another task buried in Slack conversations. This template captures task mentions and creates organized Notion entries instantly.
Overview
How many critical tasks have slipped through the cracks because they were mentioned in a Slack thread and then forgotten? If you're using both Slack for team communication and Notion for task management, you know this frustration all too well.
Tasks get buried in endless message threads, important deadlines are casually mentioned and then lost in the noise, and team members waste precious time manually copying information between apps. The constant context switching disrupts your workflow, and despite your best intentions, something always falls through the cracks.
This automation transforms your chaotic task capture process into a seamless, reliable system. Every task mentioned in Slack gets automatically detected, extracted, and organized in your Notion database with full context preserved.
