Nudge

Recurring checklists in Slack, with an owner for every step.

Nudge runs your team's routine checklists inside Slack. Each step has one owner. When a step is overdue, Nudge sends that person a direct message so nobody has to chase it.

Add to Slack

Set it up once

Type /checklist new, name the checklist, pick a schedule and add steps with owners.

Nudges, not nagging

Owners get a DM only when their step is due or overdue, at the interval you choose.

See what got done

The Home tab shows open steps, active runs and who finished what and when.

How it works in Slack

  1. Install Nudge and type /checklist new in any channel.
  2. Add steps and choose an owner for each one.
  3. Runs post to the channel you choose with Done buttons.
  4. Overdue owners get a short DM until the step is marked done.
  5. Use /checklist help for all commands.

Permissions

Nudge asks for four scopes: send messages (chat:write), the slash command (commands), open DMs to step owners (im:write) and look up names of owners (users:read). It does not read your messages or channel history. Read the privacy policy.
