Roadmap & Release Notes

Get an overview over important Sidequest KPIs via a private API. Process this data in a system of your choice.

Organize your tasks in tags or categories to make them easier to handle.

Make it easier to create the same task for many users.

Define own views for your App Home Screen, including filtering and sorting. If you like to, share them with your team.

Create a list of subtasks for a task, or make tasks depend on each other.

Tasks created by our Workflow Builder Action now support custom labeled links according to the Slack link format, such as <https://www.google.com|This is a great new site!>.

You can now manage your billing address and VAT ID via the Stripe customer portal, resulting in an improved user experience.

In a channel-based task, assign multiple users to one task.

When a task is due or supposed to start, receive a notification in its thread.

Users can now select which view they would like to see by default when opening the home tab.

Sidequest now comes with an updated task component view, which you can further customize in your personal Sidequest settings.

Sidequest is being used in many different environments, and we love that! To support this diversity, admins can now decide how tasks in their Sidequest workspace shall be called. Stick to the default Task, or go for Request, Question, Problem, the traditional Sidequest or one of many other options.

Control Sidequest using the Slack Workflow Builder, e.g. to create recurring tasks, create tasks based on actions or via webhooks.

Please note: if you have installed Sidequest before December 4, 2020, you will need to reinstall Sidequest to enable this functionality.

Use our new Task Settings to hide task fields that are not applicable to your workspace, and customize task behavior in other ways to best suit your use case.

We have created a new onboarding experience, which provides you with all the information you need in a single message.

Set personal snoozable reminders for tasks of your choice.

Apart from due dates, which mainly denote urgency, set and filter by a task's importance.

Our updated app home screen helps you to easily access tasks using various filtering criteria.

Keep tasks hidden until they become relevant.

We are moving yourself to the top of the requester and recipient drop down lists when creating a task, so it's easier for you to pick yourself.

We are making it easier to contact our customer support from inside Sidequest in Slack.

When creating a task for a channel, you can now immediately select an initial assignee, if you are a channel member yourself.

When you create a Sidequest from a message in a channel or a DM, it is now automatically linked to in the details, so you always find your way back easily.

If your team is working across multiple time zones, due dates won't be shifting back and forth anymore. You may want to double check your task due dates.

You can now customize for which kind of tasks you want to receive follow-up notifications.

Sidequest now lets you change a task recipient after the task has been created.

When you click on a permalink (like #1337) for a task in a helpdesk channel that you have access to yourself, you will now be taken there, instead of to your personal thread.

When you use the /sidequest create command in a helpdesk channel, the recipient is now pre-filled in the creation modal.

In the recipient picker, we now separate workspace guests from full workspace members, bringing your most important peers to the top.

When you create a Sidequest for a channel that you are a member of, we no longer subscribe you to your private thread, reducing the number of notifications you receive by 50%.

It is now possible to change requester and recipient of a task after it has been created, as long as it has not been received by a channel.

We have updated the App Home Screen to look a bit more tidy, using Slack's new header components.

The Slack channel topic or purpose is now displayed in the recipient select field, making it easier for requesters to pick the correct helpdesk.

Task permalinks (like #1337) now take you straight to the related thread, if there is one already.

You can now edit tasks straight from a channel, instead of having to View Details first.

Briefings should now arrive at the right time of day for users in any timezone.

Completed messages now take up a lot less space in channels and your DMs, making the pending ones easier to spot.

In workspaces with more than 100 users, all of them should now be available when selecting a quest recipient or requester.

You can now opt out of the daily briefing in settings.
