Task and Project Management in  Slack

Tasks get captured where the conversation happened — no copying context into another tool, no tabs, no “I’ll add it later.”

Yes. Assign anyone in your workspace — Chaser messages them directly and they can complete tasks without setting anything up.

Chaser follows up automatically and keeps the task visible on your dashboard until it’s done. Nothing gets buried.

Yes — the next task is created on schedule, and the incomplete one stays open with follow-ups until it’s done.

Weekly reports, invoicing, content calendars, CRM updates, standup prep, employee surveys — anything on a rhythm.

Yes. Assign to a group or a whole channel and Chaser follows up with each person individually.

Yes — mention any Slack user group or channel and every member gets their own tracked copy of the task.

Chaser keeps following up with just the people who haven’t finished. Everyone else is left alone.

You can watch progress on the task itself or your dashboard, and get a summary when everyone’s done.

Yes — each item can go to a different person with its own deadline, set when you build the checklist or when you run it.

That’s the point — run the same checklist as many times as you want, whenever you need it.

Yes — add, remove, or reassign items on a live run without affecting the saved template.

Yes. Use Checklists as reusable templates for workflows like client onboarding or a project launch. Set one up once, then run it whenever you need it. Each item becomes a task with its own assignee and due date.

Create a dedicated Slack channel for the project, then use threads to group related tasks within it.

Yes. Add the same tag to related tasks, then filter your dashboard by that tag. See Tags →

It rotates through the group in order, so work is distributed evenly over time.

Yes — remove them from the rotation temporarily and Chaser skips to the next person. And like any task, you can always reassign one after it’s been created.

Yes — a repeating task on a rotation is a great way to share recurring chores like standup notes.

The task stays visible in the channel and on everyone’s dashboard, and Chaser occasionally follows up until someone claims it.

The first claim wins by default, keeping ownership clear.

Yes — post the request to specific people, a channel, or a user group to scope who can pick it up.

Yes — tune the reminder schedule for your team, or per task when timing matters.

Immediately. Completing a task ends all follow-ups on it.

They’re spaced out and polite, and only go to the people involved with the task — far less annoying than a human asking “any update?” for the third time.

You control the frequency for each channel. We recommend sending one weekly Status Report on Monday morning, but you can add more if that suits your team.

Status Reports are generated per channel and include all tasks created in that channel.

Everyone in the channel can see them. Reports only include tasks from that channel, so no one will see anything they couldn’t already see in Slack.

Status changes, completion, reassignment, and due-date changes.

Yes — add yourself as a follower on any task you can see.

Yes — anyone can unfollow. To add or remove other people as followers, click Edit on the task.

Tasks follow Slack’s visibility: people can only see tasks made in conversations they’re part of. A task created in a DM or private channel stays private to that conversation.

Yes — the same dashboard is available on the web for bigger-screen planning.

Yes — it reflects completions and changes the moment they happen in Slack.

Yes — export any view to CSV in one click.

Anyone can create their own reports. A report includes all tasks made in the conversations you’re a member of.

Yes — for example, you can look back at completion rates over time to see how the team is trending.

No — it’s one-way. You make tasks in Slack with Chaser, and they flow into your Google Calendar automatically and stay current as they change.

By default, yes. You can also choose to include tasks you’ve assigned to others and tasks you follow.

By default, yes — so your calendar only shows outstanding work. You can change this setting.

Yes — tag a task with as many as you need, like +urgent and +website.

Anyone by default, so the system grows with your team — admins can tidy the list.

Yes — tags work as filters everywhere: dashboard, reports, and calendar.

As many as your workflow needs — though most teams do best with 4–6.

No — to ensure consistency, statuses apply across your entire workspace.

Yes — see counts per status to spot bottlenecks like a growing “Blocked” pile.

Your board automatically uses your custom statuses as columns, so it matches the workflow your team already uses.

Dragging a task to another column changes its status. That update is automatically reflected in Slack and everywhere on the Dashboard.

No. Teammates can work from Kanban, the Web Dashboard, or Slack. Changes stay in sync, so everyone sees the latest status regardless of how they work.

Anything Slack accepts — docs, images, PDFs, spreadsheets — plus any URL.

Yes. Files and links stay in the task’s Slack thread alongside the conversation, so the full context is always in one place—no separate tool to check.

Open the task from your dashboard — its files and links are right there in the thread.

No — if one side has Chaser, tasks can be assigned and tracked in the shared channel.

No — they only see tasks in the shared channel. Your internal tasks stay internal.

Yes — Chaser reminds external assignees the same way it reminds your own team.

Anything that supports MCP — Claude, ChatGPT, and a growing list of agents and IDEs.

A few minutes — connect once and every conversation with your AI can create and manage tasks.

Pretty much anything. Create and assign tasks, set due dates, run reports, and check status. Coworker switched teams? Ask Claude to reassign all their tasks to someone else.

Chrome and Chromium-based browsers like Edge, Brave, and Arc.

The extension captures the page for you and attaches it to the task automatically.

Yes — pick any teammate and set a due date right in the popup.

Typeform response → task for sales, HubSpot deal won → onboarding checklist, new Stripe dispute → task for finance.

Chaser works on Zapier’s free tier.

No — Zapier is for creating tasks. To update or complete tasks from other tools, use Chaser’s API. Chaser API

A JSON array of up to 50 tasks. A task summary is the only required field; assignee, due date and time, channel, and multi-assignee strategy are optional.

Each request must include a secret webhook token generated in Slack.

Yes. Specify an assignee by email address or Slack user group handle, and add a due date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Create, read, update, complete, reopen, and delete tasks. You can also acknowledge tasks and log time.

Every request uses a Bearer token. Create and manage API keys from the Connect page in your Chaser dashboard.

The API allows 300 requests per minute per authenticated user. Contact support if you need a higher limit.

Every task with assignee, status, due date, tags, and completion history.

Yes — export from your old tool, hand the file to your AI, and it recreates the tasks in Chaser.

No special template needed. Share your spreadsheet, notes, or export with your connected AI assistant, then tell it which tasks to create, who to assign them to, and when they’re due.

Right on the task in Slack — one click to log hours, no separate timer app.

Your time tracking report is an auto-updating Google Sheet that lives in your Drive — hours by task, person, tag, and project, ready to slice however you want.

Yes — it’s off by default, and you can enable or disable it for any individual user.
