How it works

Every step, explained

Import the template and this whole chain runs on autopilot — here's exactly what happens on each run.

Todoist → Slack
2 steps
Todoist
TRIGGER
Todoist · New Task
The workflow starts automatically when new task is created in Todoist. FlowMattic captures that data for the steps below.
Slack
ACTION
Slack · Send Direct Message
Slack — send a direct message to a user or yourself from the Slackbot. Can also schedule a message for later. Data is mapped from earlier steps; connect your Slack account on import.
Why this workflow

Built to own, not to rent

No-code setup

Import the JSON, connect your accounts, and go live in minutes. Every step is pre-mapped — you only add your own credentials.

Runs on your server

Self-hosted on your WordPress install. No per-task fees, no data leaving your infrastructure, no monthly SaaS bill.

Fully customizable

Open it in the visual builder and reshape it — add branches, swap apps, insert filters. A starting point, not a cage.
