Keep your team's Slack conversations and planned work in step
Connect Flying Donut to Slack so project activity reaches the right channels, your notifications reach you where you already talk, and the whole team can move work forward without leaving the conversation.
Project activity in the channels that care
A workspace admin connects the workspace to Slack once. Project admins then choose which channels hear about their project: new and completed cards, sprints starting and finishing, and, if they like, column moves, assignments, comments, due dates and overdue cards. Label filters keep each channel focused.
- Choose the channels and events for each project
- Many updates at once arrive as one summary, never a flood
- Posts name people without pinging them
- Private projects warn before posting to a channel
Your notifications as Slack messages
Link your Slack account and get your card, discussion and reminder notifications as direct messages from Flying Donut, next to email. Each kind has its own switch, and you can see and remove the link under Connected apps.
Update a card from the message that shows it
Every card in Slack has a menu beside it. Take the card, finish it, move it, comment on it, or change its title, assignees, due date and your reminder, right where you saw it. Everything runs as you, with the same permissions you have in Flying Donut.
- Assign, complete, move, comment and edit from one menu
- Set a reminder and snooze it from the direct message
- Replies are visible only to you, so channels stay quiet
Your work and your sprint, in Slack
Use /flyingdonut my or the app's Home tab to see your open cards, most urgent first. Turn on a daily digest of what is overdue, due today and newly assigned. Use /flyingdonut sprint to check progress on any sprint, and start or complete a sprint when it is time.
Links that preview, requests that become cards
Paste a link to a card, board or project and Slack shows what it is, only when the person who shared it can see it in Flying Donut. Turn any Slack message into a card, add one to an existing card, or use /flyingdonut to create and find cards without leaving the conversation.
- Previews follow Flying Donut access, so private work stays private
- Create a card from any message, or add a message to a card, with a link back to it
- Search the cards you can read with /flyingdonut search
- Available on every plan
See the Slack guide for setup steps and every command.
