Best Practices
Start with fewer event types
Begin with 3-4 high-priority event types. You can always add more later. Too many types can create noise.
Match event types to channels
Enable 'Incidents' only on your #incidents channel, not #general. Use channel context to reduce false positives.
Review and adjust weekly
Check your digest for a week, then adjust. Disable noisy types, add missing ones.
Use custom keywords
Add your team's specific terminology. See our guide on custom keywords.
