Description

Description

Now that we have the global task board, one really cool feature would be automatically generating global task page links whenever we send out tasks reminders to a channel, that way we can have one link that people could click from that slack message to see all the tasks that pertain to that channel

For example if I have two projects that both ping #software_finishline, we could have the task reminder message have a link to the global task page filtered by those two projects

Acceptance Criteria

When the upcoming task deadlines message is sent, it includes a link to the global task dashboard filtered to that teams project (ie all the tasks that were in the deadline notification).

Proposed Solution
  • new shared util src/shared/src/utils/task-filters.utils.ts to serialize/deserialize task filters into a URL query string, moved out of task-filters.hooks.ts so the frontend and backend share one implementation
  • update sendTaskDeadlineSlackNotifications in notifications.services.ts to also group the projects associated with each Slack channel (based on a teams slackId), and attach a link button to that channel's filtered task board on the reminder message
