Taskriz for Slack

Your team asks colleagues and people outside your business, and answers requests, right in Slack — with no Taskriz account.

Add to Slack

What it does

Ask anyone. Type /taskriz ask to ask colleagues in Slack, or people outside it by their email or mobile number. Taskriz turns your questions into a request to answer, and the answers come back to you in Slack.
Ask in one line. /taskriz ask sam@example.com if he will be attending the meeting at 3pm or suggest another time today — Taskriz shows you the questions first, privately, with Send, Edit and Cancel.
Answer in Slack. Requests from your business’s Agents arrive as messages from Taskriz, answered right there — choices, dates, a few words, files and photos.
Start a request. Type /taskriz, or open Taskriz’s Home tab, to start one of your Agents’ requests, such as “Book a Van”.

What you need

A Slack workspace where you can add apps. Some workspaces ask an admin to approve apps first.
Nothing else for your team: only the business has a Taskriz account, and it’s made when you add Taskriz, if you don’t have one.

Add Taskriz to Slack

Select Add to Slack and choose your workspace.
Review what Taskriz asks for, and select Allow.
If your Slack email has no Taskriz account, one is made for your business, named after your workspace, with a first Agent. Taskriz sends you a message in Slack with a link to set a password; it works once, for 24 hours.
If your Slack email already has a Taskriz account, Taskriz opens: sign in and tap Connect within an hour.
In Slack, type /taskriz ask to ask someone, or /taskriz to see what you can start.

To add Taskriz again later, for example after it gains a new ability, use the same Add to Slack link — not the Reinstall button on Slack’s app settings page.

What Slack can’t show

Slack messages are simpler than Taskriz requests, so a request with something Slack can’t show, like a slider or a video, arrives as its title and an Open in Taskriz button — never half a form; one tap opens it in Taskriz to answer. The Taskriz for Slack guide explains what works in Slack, the limits and privacy.

Questions

Does everyone in our Slack need a Taskriz account?

No. Only the business has a Taskriz account. Everyone else asks, answers and starts requests in Slack as themselves.

Can my team ask people outside Slack?

Yes. Add their email or mobile number to /taskriz ask. They answer in their browser or the Taskriz app, and the answer comes back to you in Slack.
