What You'll Accomplish

Before You Begin

Make sure you have:

  • A work email address
  • Access to your team's Slack, Teams, or Discord workspace
  • Permission to add apps (or the ability to request it)

Step-by-Step Setup

1

Create Your Account

1 minute

Visit opsbrief.io/register and sign up using your work email or through Google/Microsoft SSO.

During registration, you'll name your organization. This is your team's workspace where all events and settings are stored.

💡 Tip: Use your company domain email (e.g., [email protected]) to make it easier for teammates to join later.

2

Connect Your First Integration

2 minutes

After logging in, navigate to Settings → Integrations and click "Connect" next to your preferred platform.

We support Slack (most popular), Microsoft Teams (enterprise), and Discord (communities).

You'll be redirected to authorize OpsBrief. We only request read-only access - we never post or modify anything in your channels.

3

Select Channels to Monitor

1 minute

After connecting, go to Channels in your dashboard. You'll see all available channels from your workspace.

Start with 3-5 key channels where important updates happen. For engineering teams, this might be #engineering, #releases, and #incidents.

Learn more about channel selection strategy.

4

Configure Event Types

30 seconds

For each channel, select which event types to track. Common types include:

  • Releases - Deployments and version launches
  • Incidents - Outages and critical issues
  • Announcements - Team updates and news

See our guide on choosing the right event types.

5

Set Your Digest Preferences

30 seconds

Navigate to My Email Digest in the sidebar. Here you can:

  • Choose your delivery time (we recommend 30 min before your workday)
  • Select which channels to include in your personal digest
  • Set a severity threshold (optional)

Learn more about best times to receive digests.

You're All Set!

You'll receive your first digest at your chosen time. It will include all events detected from your monitored channels.

Events are also visible on your dashboard in real-time.
