Group Task Assignments

Assign a task to multiple people — Tickr tracks per-person completion and nudges only incomplete members.


Assign a single task to a group of people. Tickr tracks completion per person — the task isn't "done" until everyone in the group has completed their part. Tickr nudges each incomplete member individually.

Use cases: "Everyone must complete security training." "All designers must review this mockup." "The whole team needs to read and acknowledge the new policy."

Creating group tasks

Mention multiple people, @channel, or a user group:

@Tickr create "Complete security training" for @alice @bob @charlie
@Tickr assign code review to @channel
@Tickr assign compliance training to @engineering-team

Tickr resolves:

  • Multiple @mentions — each mentioned user becomes a group member
  • @channel / @here — resolves to all members in the channel (excluding Tickr)
  • @usergroup (e.g., @engineering-team) — resolves to all members of the Slack user group

A task with 2+ assignees automatically becomes a group task. A task with only 1 assignee is a regular task.

ℹ️ Modal limitation

The /tickr create modal currently supports single-assignee only. Use @mentions for group tasks.

How completion works

Each group member completes their part individually. The task transitions to done only when all members have completed.

Completing your part

Via @mention:

@Tickr I'm done with security training
@Tickr I finished my part of the code review

Tickr marks only your part and shows progress:

@alice completed their part of *Security training*! Waiting on 2 more: @bob, @charlie

Via the Complete button: Clicking Complete on a group task card marks your part as done — not the whole task.

Via slash command:

/tickr complete 01KH9DN3

Marks your part as done. The task stays open until everyone finishes.

Auto-close from nudge reply: If Tickr nudges you about a group task and you reply "done", it marks your part as complete.

When the last member completes

When the final group member completes their part, the task automatically transitions to done:

*Security training* — all group members have completed! Task is done!

If the task is recurring, the next instance is automatically created with all members reset to incomplete.

Close vs. complete my part

When you tell @Tickr to "close" or "mark as done" on a group task, Tickr automatically redirects to complete_my_part instead of closing the whole task. This prevents one person from accidentally closing a task for everyone.

Nudge behavior

  • Tickr nudges only incomplete members — people who already completed their part are not bothered
  • Each incomplete member receives a private DM with group progress:
These tasks in #engineering need your attention:
  *Security training* (group: 1/3 done)
  • When a group task is blocked, blocker-based nudging still applies

Recurring group tasks

When a recurring group task is fully completed, the new instance is created with:

  • All the same group members
  • All members reset to incomplete (no one is pre-completed)
  • Same recurrence schedule, due date advanced

Availability

Group task assignments are available on all plans (Trial, Pro, Max).
