Todoist holds the to-do list and Slack holds the conversation. FlowMattic keeps them in touch: new tasks can reach you as a direct message, finished work can be shared with the team, and new projects can get their own channel. It suits freelancers, small teams and managers who plan in Todoist but report in Slack.

1. TriggerNew Task2. ActionSend Direct MessageWhen Todoist fires New Task, FlowMattic runs Send Direct Message in Slack with the data from that event.

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.
Ready-made templateTasks you add from your phone, email or browser show up in Slack too, so the list is in front of you during the working day without switching apps.
New TaskSend Direct Message
View the template Task Completed gives the task, and Get a Project adds the project name. The message in #done lets the team see progress without a status meeting.
Task CompletedGet a ProjectSend Channel Message
A new project gets a channel with the same name and a topic that links back to it, so talk about the project has a place from the first day.
New ProjectCreate ChannelSet Channel Topic
Task Updated fires on many edits, so a Filter keeps only tasks set to priority 1. Leads see sudden top-priority work in a private channel and can step in.
Task UpdatedFilterSend Private Channel Message
Point any service that sends webhooks at FlowMattic. Each alert becomes a Todoist task, and Slack posts it with a link so someone takes it on.
WebhookCreate TaskSend Channel Message
Every Monday a Schedule creates a project named after the week, adds sections such as Doing and Waiting, and tells the team in Slack where this week's work lives.

When you finish, every task you add in Todoist is also sent to you as a Slack direct message.
In FlowMattic, open Connects and add your Todoist account.
Add a Slack connection for your workspace with your own user.
Create a workflow with Todoist and New Task, then add a test task so FlowMattic captures its fields.
Add Slack with Send Direct Message, choose yourself as the recipient, map the task content, due date and link into the text, test it and switch the workflow on.

A trigger starts a workflow. An action is something FlowMattic does in the app as a step.
Todoist and Slack connect through FlowMattic on your own site, with no separate automation account in the middle and no charge per run.
Task details travel from Todoist through FlowMattic on your own WordPress server to Slack, not through another automation account.
Runs are unlimited, so a busy list that changes hundreds of times a week costs the same as a quiet one.
Filter and Router decide which tasks reach Slack and where, so the channel shows finished work and urgent changes rather than every edit.
The workflows on this page post to Slack, so a Slack message does not start them. You can create tasks from a Webhook or a Schedule, or from other apps' triggers, and post them to Slack in the same run.
Yes. Add a Filter after New Task that continues only when the project ID matches the project you choose. Make one workflow per project if each should go to a different channel.
Yes. Use Task Completed with a Filter on the project or a label such as share, so only the tasks you mean to share are posted.
Each completion fires Task Completed, so a daily recurring task posts each day. Add a Filter on its name or label if you would rather leave it out.
Yes. If you know their email, Find User by Email looks them up in Slack and Send Direct Message reaches them directly.
