Create Confluence Action Item from Slack message

Question

It seems like it would be easy and useful to be able to create an action item for yourself from a Slack message; for example, if a project has its own channel and something is assigned to you in conversation `/confluence add action item` would be really useful given that Slack is where the majority of this conversation is happening and it doesn't always warrant a Jira ticket.

Hi @Caroline Calhoun

I like the use case.  I looked thru the marketplace and while there are about a dozen or so Slack addons for confluence I did not see one that would create action items.

It's possible that Scriptrunner Connect, may have this functionality, I did not test it.

Looking at it from the slack side, you have:

However at first glance, nothing about action items.

Searching on Slack's marketplace shows a few other possible addons, however, the links were not working for me so I couldn't investigate for you.
