Looking for a communication app (similar to whatsapp) that works like a to do list.

Hoping someone is aware of one out there - or maybe some clever MNer will write one and make a fortune!

So I'd like multiple threads for different topics etc and the ability to show which threads are active ie they still have outstanding issues to be worked out, to know at a glance who the next action is with - who we are waiting on to respond from a summary page and when the reason for the thread has been resolved, we can switch off the thread, but allow it to remain in archive - like a to do list.

We are currently using whatsapp and questions are asked but thread moves on and they don't get answered - we fear we are going to drop an important ball or two as we get busier. Any one know of anything that would help we need to communicate in groups of up to 10 people often from external organisations.

Trello?

I think Slack might be what you're looking for.

Thanks -

Will look at Trello.

Looked at Slack but didn't see the ~To do list element, will have another look - it's so time consuming trying to figure out test these Apps.

Trello will do exactly that & is great!

I use Wunderlist

Microsoft Teams or Slack. On slack you can integrate Trello and use a shortcut to add a task. You can share Trello boards with the slack team and then use the Trello work flow. You can also reply to a comment rather than as a main comment on the channel (like Facebook messenger reply rather than comment). You can do similar with Teams where there is now a free version. Teams can also integrate well with office365 for sharing documents and is taking over from Skype for voice call/video meetings. So if you're already using office365 I'd go for teams.

Although we have Office 365, we collaborate with contractors and clients and we couldn't be sure everyone would have Office 365. I like the idea of having everything in the same place but am I right to rule out Teams on that basis?

Another Trello vote.
