Any.do + Slack

 

 

IMPORTANT NOTE

Any.do’s Slack Integration is currently unavailable. We are working on a new and improved version which will be out in the near future so keep an eye out for updates!

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.
