Turn Slack messages into tasks
Flag a message, get a tracked task. Nothing falls through.
Paste this into AgentBand
Every hour, find messages in #product that are marked with a checkmark reaction, create a Linear issue for each with the message as the description, and reply in the thread with the issue link.
Good ideas and bug reports get buried in Slack. Forge turns flagged messages into real tasks in your tracker and links them back in the thread, so action items become tracked work instead of lost scrollback.
How it works
- 1 Find messages flagged with your chosen reaction
- 2 Create a task in your tracker for each one
- 3 Reply in the thread with the new task link
