Any.do + Slack
What is it?
Say hello to the Any.do’s Slack bot! It is a chat-bot which helps you manage your Slack tasks by allowing you to add reminders, assign tasks to other team members, and have a full display of upcoming tasks. And the best thing about the Bot is that it is able to detect tasks before you even add them!
Who has access?
- Both Premium and Free users can take advantage of this feature!
- An Any.do account is required in order to activate the feature and sync your lists and tasks.
How does it work?
- The Bot will scan your conversations for any potential tasks and offer you to set a reminder or assign the task to another colleague, while you are still chatting.
- The bot will also display a daily agenda for each morning, so you never fall behind on your tasks.
