Mursa + Slack
73% of action items mentioned in Slack are never formally tracked. They disappear into the scroll. The person who asked follows up a week later and you scramble to remember what they were talking about.
Slack is a conversation tool, not a task manager. But conversations generate work. The bridge between 'someone asked me to do something' and 'I actually did it' should not require copy-pasting, context switching, or hoping you remember.
How it works
Install the Mursa bot
Add the Mursa Slack bot to your workspace from Settings. It takes 30 seconds and works with your existing Slack setup.
Find an actionable message
Someone asks you to do something in a channel, thread, or DM. You see it and know it needs to happen.
Click to capture
One click turns the message into a real task in Mursa. The task includes the full message content, channel name, sender, and timestamp.
Task links back to Slack
Open the task anytime and click through to the original Slack message for full context. No information is lost.
Auto-notify on completion
When you mark the task as done, the person who sent the original message gets notified automatically. The loop is closed without a follow-up conversation.
What syncs
- Message content (text of the Slack message)
- Channel name and type (public, private, DM)
- Sender name and Slack user ID
- Message timestamp and link
- Completion notifications back to sender
✕What does not sync
- Slack message attachments (files, images)
- Thread replies (only the captured message)
- Slack status or presence
- Channel membership or workspace settings
- Two-way task sync (tasks created in Mursa do not appear in Slack)
Mursa only accesses messages you explicitly choose to capture. The bot does not read, scan, or monitor your Slack conversations. It responds only when you click the capture action on a specific message. No message content is processed unless you initiate it.
