Slack adds Actions feature, highlights dev community growth
Slack users can now create action points directly from a message post in the app with the introduction today of a new Actions feature.
Announced as Slack kicked off its first Spec developer conference in San Francisco on Tuesday, Actions deepens integration with third-party apps such as project management tool Asana and issue-tracking app Jira.
An Asana task can be created by clicking on the context menu in the right hand corner of a Slack message, for instance; it will capture relevant data directly from the message menu such as due date, what needs to be done and the project involved.
