Medium complexity⚑ Trigger10 nodes🏷️ Project Managementby Guilherme Campos

Overview

This n8n workflow turns Slack messages into actionable Notion todos β€” using nothing more than a simple emoji reaction.

By reacting to any Slack message with the πŸ“ emoji, the workflow will automatically capture the message, extract its content, and create a new Notion to_do item with a link back to the original message. A daily scheduled Slack message then reminds you of any tasks left unchecked in Notion.

Perfect for async teams who live in Slack but organize work in Notion, this template help
