Within Teamwork Chat, you can create a
Teamwork task directly from a message.
Hover over the message you wish to
create a task from to see the additional
options. Click the three dots button and
select the Create task option.
In the create task modal, you can choose
a project and task list for the task. You
can also assign the task to users on the
project, add a description, set estimated
time, and select a priority.
A link to the message the task is created
from is automatically added to the task
description, along with the user and the
message content, and reference to the
channel where the message was posted.
When you click create task you will then
receive a notification to confirm this, with
the option to view the task within the project
or copy the link directly to the task.
When viewing a task in Teamwork that was
created from a
conversation, you will see the
message.

following message in Teamwork
Chat.
