Can Trello send reminders in Slack channels?

[Maxime]

Hey people,

Hope everyone is doing good.

Quick questions, can we make Trello send reminders in Slack channels based to remind people to do some stuff prior to deadline?

Thanks!

Sure, our automation engine Butler can send notifications to Slack, so you would just need to add a Butler rule and have it output to Slack.

Awesome, thanks!

I guess we can also set it up to automatically create cards, tasks, items etc. ?

@Michael Pryor I tried this, but my question is a bit more specific.

I have an automation in Trello that triggers once anyone completes a checklist.  The automation does the following:
- Remove the completed checklist
- Add a new checklist
- Changes the due date for exactly a week from the current date 
- sends a message to slack with a '/remind @slackUserResponsible "It's time to complete that checklist" in a week'

This is where I'd like help.  That last step was placed as a regular text message and "/remind" was ignored.

Any special formatting I need to add to that message so that slack can understand it's a Slack command?
