Summarize your team Slack activity into a stakeholder update
Pull the week's highlights from Slack and draft a stakeholder update email in Gmail
Overview
Writing a weekly stakeholder update means re-reading conversations your team already had. This template pulls the highlights from Slack and drafts the email for you, so you can review and send instead of starting from scratch.
How it works
- Searches Slack for messages posted this week in your specified channel
- Filters for mentions of launches, results, blockers, or decisions
- Summarizes the five most important updates in plain language
- Creates a draft email in Gmail with the subject line and recipient you specify
- Leaves the draft ready for your review before sending
Who this is for
Team leads and ops managers who need to keep stakeholders informed without manually compiling updates from Slack every week.
