Integrations
A few of the best task management apps for Slack
Slack integrates with all kinds of task management apps — from ones you already use to new apps that can help your team stay focused. These apps can send important reminders, up-to-date notifications and more into Slack, or allow you to create new tasks from where you're already collaborating with your team.
ORGANIZATION
Team communication in one place
Work in Slack happens in collaborative spaces called channels. Conversations and files related to your tasks stay organized in the appropriate channel for that project or initiative, allowing you to focus on specific tasks and manage your time as needed.
Channels are where you can share files and messages with your teams. They can be created for every project, topic, department, or whatever makes sense for your company.

Prioritization
Bring balance to delegation and deadlines
Collaboration in Slack happens in real time — you can find support or delegate tasks in the flow of conversation. And when those conversations happen in channels, you can prioritize your effort on just the tasks and work that need your attention.
