How do I create a rotation reminder to slack

I wonder if we could create a rotation reminder to slack using Zapier?

 

I have a team that consists of 6 people. We agree that each of us will take turns, taking care of a certain weekly task. When a new week begins, I want an automation that sends a message to slack and tags that person to remind them that it's their turn this week.

 

Is this something that we can do?

 

Appreciate all the help!
