Quick-Log a Decision via Slack Slash Command
A /decision slash command in Slack lets anyone instantly log a decision with owner and rationale; the workflow validates the input, records it in Coda.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- Trigger/decision slash command invokedSlack
- ActionParse command into structured fields with OpenAIOpenAI
- LogicOwner + decision present? Else return inline error
- ActionWrite decision row to Coda registerCoda
- OutputPost confirmation card to Slack channelSlack
What it does
Gives the team a frictionless way to log a decision in the moment it is made. Type /decision followed by what was decided, and the workflow parses owner, rationale, and an optional decide-by date, writes a structured row to your Coda register, and drops a confirmation card in the channel so everyone sees it was captured.
When to use it
Use this when decisions happen in live conversation and you want capture to be a single command rather than a context switch. Perfect for fast-moving teams who will never open a separate tool but will type one slash command in Slack.
How it works
- 1A user invokes the /decision slash command in Slack, triggering the workflow via webhook.
- 2An OpenAI step parses the free-text command into structured fields: decision, owner, rationale, and optional deadline.
- 3A logic step checks for a missing owner or empty decision and returns an inline error prompting the user to retry if so.
- 4The validated decision is written as a new row in the Coda register with status Confirmed and the invoking user as the source.
- 5A confirmation message with the parsed fields is posted back to the originating Slack channel for visibility.
