Create & Manage Tasks

Create new tasks in Notion using custom Discord commands, and view all tasks assigned to you - all without leaving Discord.

Before You Begin

📋 Prerequisites
  1. Database sharing: Share database with NotiCord in Notion (Add connections → NotiCord).
    ✅ Already shared during setup? You're good to go!
  2. Status property: Database must have a Status property (type "status" or "select"). See what is a task database

Step-by-Step: Connect Your First Task Database

  1. Go to the Tasks page
  2. Click "Connect Notion Database" button
  3. Select your database from the dropdown (must have a Status property)
  4. Choose a command name for creating tasks (e.g., bug, feature, task) - this becomes your Discord slash command (e.g., /bug). Command name rules
💡 Shared Commands
Multiple databases can share the same command name - Discord will show a dropdown to select which database to use.
  1. Map Status property - Select which Status/Select property to use for quick actions
  2. (Optional) Map Assignee property - Select a People property to enable "Assign to me" button
  3. (Optional) Add custom fields - Configure up to 5 fields for the task creation form (Title and Description are automatic) Supported field types
  4. (Optional) Enable quick action buttons - Choose which buttons appear on task creation confirmations (status change buttons and/or "Assign to me")
  5. Click "Connect"

Test it: Type your command (e.g., /bug) in Discord - a modal should appear for creating tasks!

Creating Tasks with Custom Commands

Once you've connected a task database, anyone in your Discord server can create tasks using your custom command.

How to Create a Task

  1. Type your command in any Discord channel (e.g., /bug)
  2. If you have multiple databases with the same command, select which one to use
  3. Fill out the modal form (fields depend on your configuration)
  4. Click "Submit"
