Event Configuration
OpsBrief uses AI to automatically detect and categorize important events from your team's messages. Learn how to configure which events to track for your daily digest.
How AI Event Detection Works
When you connect an integration like Slack or Teams, OpsBrief reads messages from your selected channels and uses AI to:
- Scan each message for event-related content
- Classify the event type (release, incident, announcement, etc.)
- Extract key details (title, description, severity)
- Assign a confidence score to the detection
Events with high confidence are included in your daily digest and shown on your dashboard timeline.

Configuring Events
Per-Channel Configuration
Each channel can have different event types enabled. For example, you might enable "Incidents" for your #alerts channel but disable it for #general.
To configure: Go to Channels → Select a channel → Click "Configure Events" → Toggle event types on/off.
Severity Levels

Custom Keywords
Add custom keywords to help the AI detect events specific to your organization. For example, if your team uses "LGTM" to signal code review approvals, you can add it as a keyword.
Pro tip: Use your internal project codenames, deployment scripts, or team-specific terminology to improve detection accuracy.
