Convert Slack messages to Notion todos using 📝 emoji reactions

This n8n workflow turns Slack messages into actionable Notion todos — using nothing more than a simple emoji reaction.

By reacting to any Slack message with the 📝 emoji, the workflow will automatically capture the message, extract its content, and create a new Notion todo item with a link back to the original message. A daily scheduled Slack message then reminds you of any tasks left unchecked in Notion.

Perfect for async teams who live in Slack but organize work in Notion, this template helps you bridge the gap between communication and execution—without switching tools or relying on memory.

Who’s it for

- Teams that use Slack and Notion daily - Product managers, leads, and async-first teams who want quick capture of action items - Anyone tired of copy-pasting Slack messages into Notion manually

How it works Emoji-triggered Notion capture

1. The workflow listens for the reactionadded event from Slack. 2. When a user reacts to a message with :memo:, it fetches the full message content and permalink. 3. It creates a todo block in Notion with the message and a direct link to the original Slack thread.
