How do I pin a message?

React with 📌. Via adds it to a shared team board that everyone in the channel can see, so there is no copy-pasting into a doc that no one reopens.

Each pin has a finite lifespan and auto-archives when it ends, so the board reflects what matters now instead of collecting stale notices. You set the lifespan when you pin.

Can a pin become a task?

Yes. Convert a pin into an assignable task in one click when it needs an owner and a due date, and it moves into the Tasks power.

Where does the board live?

It lives in Slack for quick reference and in the web command center for the full board, including archived pins you can search back through.

Team pinboard

A board for what matters — that won't rot.

React 📌 on any message to pin it to a shared team board. Every pin gets a lifespan you choose and auto-archives when it ends — so the board is always what's relevant now, never a junk drawer of last quarter.

Built to expire

Every pin has a deadline you choose

Slack's native pins pile up until someone remembers to clean them. Viably's pins are deliberately temporary — pick how long each one lives, and Via auto-archives it on the dot.

Every pin retires on a deadline you choose — so the board stays a list of what matters now, never a graveyard of last quarter.

Self-curating

The board cleans up after itself

Watch the clock run: as each pin's window closes it slides to the archive — kept and searchable, never deleted. What's left on the board is always still in play.

Pin to task

When a pin is really a to-do

Some pins aren't just for reference — they're work waiting for an owner. Convert one in place and it becomes a claimable task, with the original thread linked, feeding straight into your backlog.

#design · 9 days left

Pinned for reference — but it's actually a fix someone needs to own.

Convert to Task

📋 Task — #product

One tap turns this pin into owned work.

Converted pins ride the full Tasks lifecycle — claim, due date, follow-ups, the lot.

Command center

A durable, browsable board

Every active pin in one place — tagged, attributed, and timestamped, with the images that came along on the message kept right alongside. Filter by tag, browse by board, find it in a second.
