Read the thread I starred in Slack and create one Asana task per action item, assigned to the person who owns it.

 

Use this prompt to turn the action items in a Slack thread into separate Asana tasks, each assigned to the person who owns it, so nothing agreed in chat gets lost.

Apps you need: Slack and Asana, both connected to Zapier MCP
Good for: project managers and team leads who plan work in Slack

Make it yours

  • Name the Asana project the tasks should go in.
  • Ask for due dates, for example "due Friday unless the thread says otherwise".
  • Point to a specific thread by channel and topic if you have not starred one.

Tips

  • Owners are matched by name, so check the assignees before you rely on them.

Tried it yet? Let us know if it picked the right owners, and whether you added due dates.
