Why this helps
Feature requests can get buried in busy Slack channels, and checking release updates in another tool adds another context switch.
- Find potentially relevant Beamer updates while the request is fresh.
- Get a concise run report without manually opening another tool.
- Keep follow-up anchored to the original Slack discussion.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Slack and Beamer to Notis once through the portal.
- 2Create an automation in the portal and choose the Slack channel message trigger.
- 3Write one plain-language instruction to check Beamer posts for updates related to feature requests in the Slack message.
- 4Choose a channel for run reports, then test with one real feature request message.
