#product-updates - Message is tagged with a specific emoji (e.g., 📢)
- Notra generates a customer-facing blog post
- Content includes feature benefits, screenshots, and usage examples
Weekly Engineering Updates
Aggregate engineering progress into changelogs:- Engineers post daily updates in
#engineering - At week’s end, Notra compiles all updates
- Generate a formatted changelog of shipped features

Investor Reporting
Create quarterly updates from milestone announcements:- Monitor
#milestoneschannel for key achievements - Track metrics shared in
#analytics - Aggregate into quarterly summary

How Content Selection Will Work
Several mechanisms will help Notra identify content-worthy updates:Emoji Reactions
React to messages with a specific emoji (e.g., 📝 or ✨) to flag them for content generation.Keywords
Configure keywords like “shipped”, “launched”, or “released” that trigger content creation.Thread Detection
Important discussions in threads can be transformed into blog posts or documentation.Channel Monitoring
Monitor entire channels dedicated to announcements or updates.You’ll have full control over what gets turned into content. Notra will show you the source messages and let you approve or reject suggestions.
Data Privacy and Security
Slack integration will prioritize privacy:Explicit Authorization
You choose exactly which channels Notra can access. No blanket workspace access.
Content Review
All generated content will be reviewable before publishing. Internal discussions stay internal until you approve.
Webhook Events
Planned events that will trigger content generation:- Message posted in monitored channel: With matching keywords or emoji reactions
- Thread marked as important: Using specific emoji or slash commands
- Scheduled aggregation: Daily or weekly summaries of channel activity
Filtering and Control
You’ll have fine-grained control over what gets processed:| Filter Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Channel whitelist | Only monitor specific channels |
| User filtering | Ignore or prioritize messages from certain users |
| Keyword matching | Trigger on specific words or phrases |
| Emoji reactions | Flag messages for content generation |
| Time-based | Only process messages during business hours |
Best Practices (When Available)
To get the most from the Slack integration:Use Dedicated Channels
Create channels specifically for announcements that should become external content. For example,
#public-updates or #changelog-items.Write Clear Messages
When posting updates you want to share externally, write them clearly and professionally. Notra will enhance them, but starting with quality content helps.
Establish Emoji Conventions
Agree on team conventions for flagging content. For example, 📝 means “turn this into a blog post” and 📋 means “add to changelog”.
