Receive work updates
Bring updates from Taskonio directly into Slack once the integration is connected.
Work moves in Taskonio. Your team hears about it in Slack.
Receive Taskonio updates directly in Slack. Keep your team informed where the conversation happens, while tasks and planning stay in Taskonio.
Why it matters
Make the work clearer, not heavier.
Your team may be discussing a release in Slack while the work progresses in Taskonio. The integration brings Taskonio updates into that conversation space, so teammates can stay informed without relying on someone to repeat the news manually.
Designed around the way real teams decide and deliver.
Stay close to the conversation
Keep teammates informed in the tool they already use to talk about the work.
Keep one place for tasks
Manage ownership, priorities, and planning in Taskonio. Slack is where you receive the updates.
A closer look
Keep the work moving. Keep the team informed.
01
Connect your team’s Slack
Set up the Slack integration in Taskonio with the person who manages your team’s connections. Complete the authorization steps and any approval your Slack workspace requires.
- Start with the Slack integration in Taskonio
- Connect the Slack workspace your team uses
- Complete the required authorization
02
Let the updates come to Slack
Once connected, the integration sends Taskonio updates to Slack. Your team can follow the news about the work alongside its day-to-day conversations, without maintaining another task list in chat.
- Receive updates from Taskonio
- Read them directly in Slack
- Keep the underlying work in Taskonio
03
Discuss the update where your team talks
Use the update as context for a conversation in Slack. The integration keeps people informed; it does not turn Slack messages into tasks or sync the conversation back into Taskonio.
- Discuss the work with your teammates in Slack
- Keep conversations separate from task changes
- Use Taskonio when a discussion needs a new task
04
Make the next change in Taskonio
When an update needs follow-through, open Taskonio to review the task and decide what happens next. Ownership, acceptance criteria, and planning remain part of the same workflow your team already uses.
- Review the task’s full context in Taskonio
- Update its owner, priority, or description there
- Plan the next step through Sprint or Kanban

Inbox: Actions and Updates
An inbox that knows ‘FYI’ from ‘your turn’.
Actions keep assignments and direct mentions visible until you mark them done. Updates keep you informed about comments and changes, then leave the unread view once read.
ExploreTask view
The context belongs with the task
Keep the description, attachments, links, sub-items, comments, and task activity together. Open the work and get the information needed to move it forward.
ExploreGitHub integration
The task explains why. The pull request shows how.
Connect GitHub branches and pull requests to the Taskonio tasks they implement. Keep development context close to the specification, without asking everyone to search the repository for an update.
