Follow up on tasks you're waiting on
Park a task on someone else without losing it, and draft a follow-up message when it's time to check in.
Mark a task as waiting
- Open the task and, under Blockers & waiting, turn on Waiting on someone else.
- Set Resurface on for the date you want it back on your radar, or leave it blank to keep it parked until you unpark it.
A waiting task comes off your calendar, Plan my day and Today until it resurfaces — parked on someone else, rather than your own later the way a snooze is. It stays visible on the board under Waiting, and in Control Room.
Draft a follow-up
On a saved, waiting task, fill in who you're waiting on — Name, Email, What you asked for, and, if you want to send there, their Slack member ID — then click Draft follow-up. Done writes a short message from what you filled in and how long it's been, ready to edit.
- Send to my Slack sends the message to your own Slack DM, with a button that opens a chat with them — you still send it yourself.
- Copy puts the message on your clipboard to paste anywhere.
Done never sends the message to the other person on either path — only you do. Only a Slack send is remembered as Last drafted…; copying isn't recorded.
Turn on Follow-up suggestions in Account & settings → Notifications and Done DMs your own Slack a suggested follow-up the morning a waiting task resurfaces — nothing is sent to the other person.
