After the latest slack feature roll-out of the “To-Dos” tag (with list), I would like a "New To-dos" trigger for Slack
Why I need it: I want to automatically create Google tasks when new messages are marked as to-dos in Slack
My current workflow is built on “Save it for later” based on trigger "New Saved Message" + Google Tasks

+11Hi
I saw we've got a feature request for a “New To-do Created” Slack trigger so I went and added your vote for that. Can't make any promises as to when it might get added but we'll be sure to send you an email notification when it does.
In the meantime, I've seen reports that Zaps using the existing New Saved Message trigger can run for new to-dos if the “Add to-do” button is clicked on the message in Slack. So potentially, if you use that button to add your to-dos, you could still use your current workflow setup for now. Let us know how it goes. Want to make sure you're all set!
Hi Sam, that is really kind of you, thank you!
I’ve tried with the current setup of zap trigger “save” and clicked “Add to-do” on a slack message, but the automation didn’t trigger.
If anyone knows of a setup that this does work with, I’d be happy to hear about it and try it out!
Thx again Sam!
+1Does a normal “Save for later” still trigger your Zap? I’d test two fresh messages in the same channel, keeping the Zap unchanged. Save one normally and click “Add to-do” on the other.
If only the normally saved message creates a task, that narrows the issue to the difference between those actions rather than a general connection failure. If neither works, troubleshoot the existing trigger first.
Check Zap History for the To-do test, too. A missing run points to a different problem than a run that started but failed at Google Tasks.

Thank you - The normal “Save for later” still triggers the Zap and works as expected. Just the new “To-do” doesn’t work and since it’s a new feature that is separating the tasks into a different group, that’s why I have asked if a new trigger event for “Add-To-do” can be created.
+11Sorry to hear it didn’t work
If you try clearing the to-do for the message you tested with earlier and then click the Add to-do button again does it then trigger the Zap? 🤞
