detail.loadingPreview
Stop manually chasing deadlines! This automation leverages Airtable for task tracking and Slack for timely reminders, ensuring your team stays on top of what's due. Get daily nudges directly in Slack for all your 'In Progress' tasks.
About This Workflow
Tired of the daily grind of reminding your team about tasks and deadlines? This n8n workflow elegantly solves that problem by connecting your Airtable base to your Slack channel. Every morning at 9 AM, it automatically scans your Airtable for tasks marked 'In Progress' and sends a clear, concise reminder directly to a designated Slack channel. This ensures no task slips through the cracks and frees up your valuable time from manual follow-ups. The workflow is designed for simplicity, allowing anyone to set it up with minimal technical expertise.
Key Features
- Automated Daily Reminders: Receive task updates directly in Slack each morning.
- Airtable Integration: Seamlessly pull active tasks from your Airtable bases.
- Customizable Slack Notifications: Tailor reminder messages with task title, assignee, and due date.

How To Use
- Set up your Airtable base: Create a base with at least fields for 'Title', 'Status' (e.g., 'In Progress', 'Done'), and 'Due Date'.
- Create an Airtable Personal Access Token: Generate a token with 'data.records:read' scope, granting access to your specific base.
- Configure the n8n Schedule Trigger: Set the trigger to run daily at your desired time (e.g., 9:00 AM).
- Add and Configure the Airtable 'Search Records' Node: Connect your Airtable credentials, select your base and table, and set the 'Filter By Formula' to
{Statut} = "En cours"(or your equivalent). - Add and Configure the Slack 'Send Message' Node: Connect your Slack credentials, choose your workspace and channel, and customize the message template to include task details like title and due date.
