Slack

The Slack integration keeps a channel up to date on a board's work and lets you file a message as a task without leaving Slack.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations and find Slack.
2. Click Connect Slack.
3. In Slack, pick the channel Taskeni should post to and allow access.
4. Back in Taskeni, under Post these events, tick New tasks, Tasks moved, Completed, and Comments as you like.
5. Under From these boards, keep All boards everyone can see, or untick it and pick boards.
6. Choose where "Create task from Slack" adds to, then click Save.

Turn a message into a task

1. In Slack, open the message's menu (the … button).
2. Choose Create task in Taskeni.

The task is created on the board you chose in step 6 (or your starred or first board), as the Taskeni member with the same email as your Slack account.

Link previews

Paste a Taskeni task link in the connected Slack workspace and it unfurls with the task's title, status, assignee, and due date.

Good to know

• Only owners and admins can connect, change, or disconnect Slack.
• Private boards are never posted unless you pick them.
• Link previews only show tasks on boards everyone in the workspace can see.
• To stop, click Disconnect. Taskeni stops posting, link previews stop, and the message shortcut stops working.
• One Slack connection per Taskeni workspace. Slack is included on every plan.
