automatically create tasks from Slack "saved items"
Sarah Brown
I'll often get sent TODOs through slack that I bookmark for return to later, that I'd love to incorporate here

While Sunsama does not support automatically creating tasks from save items, or browsing or creating tasks from Slack messages within Sunsama, know that you can always create tasks from Slack messages. If you save Slack messages to your "Saved Items", you can then quickly create Sunsama tasks from them by clicking on the "More Actions" button and clicking "Create a task- Sunsama".

Alex Cunningham: I think what is being asked for is what Akiflow has which is automatically creating the task when bookmarking a message rather than having to do the create task workflow which has many more steps.

Hey Alexander Kim: thanks for that clarification, understood! I'll leave my comment here in case it's useful to others, but I'll change the name of this thread and document this internally for us. Appreciate your help as always!

Slack is a blessing (faster contact with key people) and a curse (Pandora's Box of distractions!!!!!).
Sunsama could help make Slack a blessing only, by making it easier to "block" Slack entirely. To do that, I need to be able to take some key content from Slack, and put it in Sunsama. (Posts to respond to, or to think about, or to research, etc.).
This idea has a neat workflow:
— I "save" an item in a Slack
— In Sunsama, in the Slack import integration (that does not yet exist), I can review all my saved items, across all my workspaces, and pick the ones that I want to noodle on.
— All throughout, I can use something like Freedom.to or 1Focus to block launch of Slack app and access to Slack website.
