Workast
Workast is a task management tool built specifically for Slack. If your team already lives in Slack and needs a lightweight way to turn conversations into tasks, assign work, and track progress without leaving the Slack interface, Workast fills that gap. You create tasks from Slack messages with a command or reaction, assign them to team members, set due dates, and track completion — all inside Slack.
Workast adds task boards, recurring tasks, project spaces, and basic reporting on top of Slack’s native conversation model. It is not trying to replace full project management platforms like Jira or Asana. Instead, it catches the work that would otherwise be lost in chat: action items from discussions, quick requests, follow-ups, and ad-hoc tasks that do not warrant creating a ticket in a heavier system.
Workast has an API that can connect to n8n for automating task creation and management. For example, n8n can create Workast tasks when specific events happen in other tools — a form submission, a customer support ticket, or a CRM status change — and the task appears directly in the relevant Slack channel. For Slack-first teams that want structured task tracking without adding another app to their workflow, Workast keeps everything in one place. Talk to us about automating your team workflows.
