Workast is a task management app that is installed into a Slack workspace. It helps team manage tasks within Slack channels. Workast allows you to create tasks, without leaving Slack. Learn more about Workast here.
You can create a task from an existing Slack message that has been posted in a channel.
To create your task:
- Mouse over to the right of the text, then click on the 3 horizontal dots ("more actions" button.)
- Select "Create a Task"
- A pop-up will appear, allowing you to create a task. The Slack message will be the default task title but can be edited.
- You can also add a description by typing into the description field.
- Use the drop-down menus to add a due date, due time and assignee(s) if desired.
- Click "Create" to create the task. (To cancel the task creation, select "Cancel.")
- The task will then be created. The standard drop-down message menu is available under the task creation message, to allow for editing if needed.
