Build a personal AI coordinator in Slack | Build Along Workshop

Get the template: https://zpr.io/Sq6nN7ZcFefj Turn Slack requests into scheduled work. Someone asks you for something in Slack. You react with an emoji, say "on it," and mean it. Then it's Thursday and it's still sitting there. In this workshop, we build a personal request tracker live: react to a Slack message, and it turns into a real task on your calendar — scheduled into time you actually have open, with a link straight back to the original thread. No more losing small commitments in the scroll. What you'll see built, step by step: • A Slack trigger on the emoji you already use for "will do" • A step that reads the message and turns it into a clear, specific task • A calendar lookup that finds open time on tomorrow's schedule • A calendar event created with a link back to the Slack thread This is a hands-on build, not a lecture — you can follow along and end up with your own working version. Who this is for: - Anyone whose job mostly arrives as Slack requests from teammates - Ops and program people who end up as the unofficial queue for their team - Managers who keep losing small asks in the channel scroll - Anyone curious how a request-tracking system is built before rolling one out to a whole team What you need to follow along: - A Slack account - Zapier added to your Slack workspace - Slack and Google Calendar connected in Zapier - a trial or paid Zapier account #Slack #Zapier #Automation #Productivity #GoogleCalendar Subscribe to the Zapier YouTube channel so you don't miss other important tutorials and integrations: https://www.youtube.com/Zapier?sub_confirmation=1 Need customer support? https://zapier.com/app/get-help
