Slack

Connect Slack to turn messages into tasks. Save a message from any channel or DM and it lands in a panel you can drop onto a day: the ask, the channel, and who sent it, captured for you.

What Volana imports

The Slack panel lists the messages you’ve saved as tasks. Pull one onto your board to schedule the follow-up; the new task links back to the thread, and its row shows the Volana mark once it’s in.

Opening a message

Click a saved message and it opens into its own view: the author, the message exactly as sent, and a reply box, so you can answer without switching over to Slack.

Can you send the launch metrics deck before the 2pm sync? Marketing wants the funnel numbers front and center.

Reactions and acknowledging a message

Reactions on the original message come along too, so you can see who’s already weighed in. Need to acknowledge it quickly without a full reply? React right from the modal.

Kept in sync automatically

Volana listens for changes in Slack in real time. If a saved message’s thread gets a reply, the panel reflects it without a manual refresh. This only refreshes the panel: once you’ve dropped an item onto your board, Volana leaves that task alone, so nothing already scheduled changes underneath you.

Connect Slack from Settings → Connected apps. See Connecting an integration for the full flow that’s shared across every provider.
