When turning a message into a task you can now customize the title, notes, and start date.
Here's a quick demo: https://www.loom.com/share/37b8b7eded2841deb8c43284c9c3c20c

Not to harp on this, but I desperately need this to make the Slack add-on actually useful for me. As it is my current Slack-Sunsama workflow looks like this:
- Click the "add task to Sunsama" button from Slack
- End up with a so-called "task" in Sunsama that looks like the attached screenshot.
- And then I cut that from the title of the Sunsama task, paste it into the description field, and then write a new task title.
At which point it's basically no easier than just copy and pasting the message from Slack into Sunsama manually.
Your solution above would be super elegant Ashutosh, but an even simpler version would just be to default that the message from Slack becomes the description and the Sunsama bot asks for a task title. Time estimate and channel can be set manually later from Sunsama. This would at least make it minimally functional.

I would love this. (Think I may have suggested this to you previously.)
Because most of the time when I create a task from Slack, I want the Slack message itself (often from a colleague) to become the task description ("Hey Jay, I need you to review the candidates for the position, here's the link: "), whereas I'd make the task title something descriptive and actionable ("Review potential hires").
