Slack Integration

Create tasks, receive notifications, and automate workflows

Overview

The Slack integration connects your Vaiz workspace with Slack, allowing you to create tasks, receive notifications, and automate workflows — all without leaving Slack.

Create tasks from Slack

Turn any Slack message into a Vaiz task in two ways:

  • Slash command — Type /vaiz-task in any channel to open the task creation dialog
  • Message action — Click the three dots menu on any message → select Create Task from Message to convert that message into a task

The task will be created in your Vaiz workspace with the message content as the description.

Notifications

Receive real-time notifications in Slack about task updates, comments, mentions, and more. You have full control over which notifications you receive — enable or disable each notification type individually in your personal settings.

Go to App Center → Apps → Slack → Personal → Notifications to customize your preferences.

When you paste a Vaiz link in Slack, it automatically unfurls to show rich previews for:

  • Documents
  • Tasks
  • Projects
  • Milestones
  • Boards

Automations

Build custom automations that trigger Slack messages based on Vaiz events. Examples:

  • When a task is assigned to a specific person → Post a message to a Slack channel
  • When a task moves to QA Ready → Notify the QA team channel
  • When a new task is created in a project → Alert the project channel

Set up automations in your board's Automation tab. Select "Send Message to Slack" as the action and choose the target channel.

History events

Stream project activity to a dedicated Slack channel. Keep your team informed about everything happening in a project — task creation, movements, assignments, status changes, and more.

Configure in App Center → Apps → Slack → Space → History events. Match each Vaiz project to a Slack channel.

How to configure

The Slack integration is configured per Vaiz Space. Go to App Center → Apps → Slack within your Space to set it up.

There are two types of connections, each enabling different features:

Personal connection

A personal connection is created only for your account within this Space. It enables:

  • Notifications — Receive personal notifications from Vaiz in Slack
  • Tasks — Create tasks from Slack messages using /vaiz-task or message actions
  • Links — See rich previews when you paste Vaiz links in Slack

To connect: Go to the Personal tab and authorize Vaiz with your Slack workspace.

Space connection

A Space connection is shared across your entire Vaiz Space. It enables team-wide features:

  • Automation — Trigger Slack messages based on Vaiz events (configured per board)
  • History events — Stream project activity to dedicated Slack channels

To connect: Go to the Space tab and authorize Vaiz. Then select which Slack channels Vaiz can post to, and match your projects to channels.

You can connect multiple Slack workspaces to the same Vaiz Space if needed.
