Connect Runrun.it and Slack

Runrun.it tracks tasks, time worked and evaluations, while day-to-day conversation often happens in Slack. FlowMattic sends the Runrun.it events that need attention to the right channel or person: urgent flags, reopened work, new assignments, deliveries waiting for review and rejected evaluations. For agencies and service teams.

1. TriggerTask Mark as Urgent

When Runrun.it fires Task Mark as Urgent, FlowMattic runs Send Channel Message in Slack with the data from that event.

You build this in the FlowMattic workflow builder on your own site. See the setup steps

Runrun.it and Slack workflows you can build

Each one uses only triggers and actions the two integrations ship today, plus FlowMattic's own tools. Where the library has a ready-made template, import it instead of building from scratch.

Alert the team when a Runrun.it task is marked urgent

Urgent flags are easy to miss in a long task list. A channel post with the task and client gets someone on it while the request is still fresh.

Post reopened tasks so rework is visible

A reopened task usually means the delivery missed something. Posting it to the team channel shows rework as it happens, not at the monthly review.

Send new assignees a direct message

When a task is assigned, Find User by Email looks up the person and Send Direct Message gives them the task title and due date in Slack.

Tell reviewers a delivered task is ready

Delivered work waits for evaluation. A post in the reviewers' channel shortens the gap between delivery and approval, which keeps clients waiting less.

Flag rejected evaluations to the team lead

Rejections go to a private leads channel with the task and reviewer comment, so the lead can step in before a second rejection.

Open a channel for each new client

Client Created opens a Slack channel named after the client, so account conversations have a home from the first task.

Surface task comments that mention a blocker

A Filter looks for words such as blocked or waiting in new task comments and posts only those, so blockers reach the channel without every comment.

Set up: urgent tasks to Slack

At the end, every Runrun.it task marked as urgent posts to a Slack channel with its title and project.

  1. Connect Slack

    In FlowMattic, open Connects and add a Slack connection for your team's workspace.

  2. Choose Task Mark as Urgent

    Create a workflow with Runrun.it and Task Mark as Urgent, and follow the trigger's instructions to link your Runrun.it account.

  3. Flag a test task

    Mark a test task as urgent in Runrun.it so FlowMattic captures its fields.

  4. Write the alert

    Add Send Channel Message, choose the channel, include the task title, project, client and assignee, test it and switch the workflow on.

Triggers and actions in this pair

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.

Good to know

  • Task Mark as Urgent and Task Unmark as Urgent are separate triggers. Add a second workflow if the channel should also hear when the flag is cleared.
  • Task Updated fires for many kinds of edits. Prefer the narrower triggers, such as Task Reopen or Task Moved, to keep the channel readable.
  • Find User by Email needs the same email in Runrun.it and Slack. Check one user before relying on direct messages.

Why run this pair with FlowMattic

Runrun.it and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.

Urgent work gets picked up

Urgent flags and reopened tasks reach the channel where the team is already talking, rather than waiting in a list someone may not open.

Reviews move faster

Delivered tasks and rejected evaluations go to the people who review and lead, so work does not sit between steps.

Unlimited runs, your server

FlowMattic runs on your own WordPress site, so a team updating hundreds of tasks a day pays nothing per run.

Common questions

How do I send Runrun.it tasks to Slack?

Create a FlowMattic workflow with a Runrun.it trigger such as Task Created or Task Mark as Urgent, then add Slack Send Channel Message and map the task title, project and assignee into the text.

Can time tracking changes go to Slack?

Yes. Task Change Time Worked and Project Change Time Worked are triggers. Post them to a private channel for project managers who watch budgets.

Can I post comments from projects as well as tasks?

Yes. Project Comment Created, Team Comment Created and Document Comment Created are triggers too. Give each its own workflow and channel if the volume is high.

Can each client's tasks go to that client's channel?

Yes. Add a Router or a Lookup Table that maps the client name in the task data to a Slack channel, then use that channel in Send Channel Message.
