Slack
Send a team digest and selected events to a Slack channel.
Limn can post a digest of a workspace’s Pending board to a Slack channel, once or twice a day, with a short sprint summary. It can also post when an auto review finishes and when a pull request merges. The digest is about the team’s work, so it never includes your own My turn list. Limn posts through a Slack incoming webhook; it needs no Slack app permissions beyond that.
#What you need
- A Slack incoming webhook for the channel. Create one at api.slack.com/apps → Incoming Webhooks.
- Limn running on your computer at the times the digest is due.
#Set it up
Sends this workspace’s Pending board, sprint summary, merges and auto reviews to a Slack channel.
- Open Settings → Integrations and find Slack. It applies to the workspace you have selected.
- Paste the Incoming webhook URL.
- Choose a Cadence: Daily or Twice daily, and the times under Send at and And at.
- Tick what else to send: Include a review-bot summary, Post when an auto review finishes and Post when a pull request merges.
- Press Save, then Send test and check the channel.
#What the digest says
Sprint: refunds work is in review; the ledger rename has not started.
- The team’s Pending tabs: Needs fixing, Waiting on review, Unanswered threads, Ready to land and Dependencies, the top 5 of each, every pull request once. My turn and other personal lists are left out, and nothing in the digest names you.
- A short sprint summary, written by AI. It is not rewritten when the workspace’s activity has not changed. If you are over your AI spend limit, the digest still goes out with the last summary.
- A review-bot summary, if ticked: each review bot’s comment count, the share your team used and the number left untouched.
Event messages
- Post when an auto review finishes: the pull request, its verdict and the review’s summary, not the comments. Reviews you start yourself are never posted.
- Post when a pull request merges: the pull request and who merged it. Sent once per pull request, only for merges Limn sees as they happen, not for old merges found in a sync.
Both are off until you tick them. Each message is sent once and never retried.
#Pause or stop
- To pause, set Cadence to Off (paused, channel kept). The webhook is kept. Event messages you ticked still post.
- To stop, press Stop sending (delete the channel). This deletes the stored webhook.
Only a few workspaces can have a digest at once, because each one writes its own sprint summary; the section says when you reach the limit. For the board itself, see Pending.
