Slack is another one of those apps that’s easy to accidentally waste a lot of time in. With this zap, you can have zapier push messages where you’re mentioned directly into Fractal. Not only do you reduce the likelihood of getting distracted, you also get the benefit of having the original message context right in the app you'll use to organize your work.
