Recommended Configuration

  • Report Period: "Previous Week" is recommended for consistent week-over-week comparisons (Monday to Sunday)
  • Delivery Day: Monday morning helps teams review the previous week's performance at the start of the new week
  • Delivery Time: 09:00 or 10:00 ensures reports arrive at the beginning of the workday
  • Time Zone: Automatically uses your team's configured timezone from team settings

Additional Options

Manual Reporting

  • • Generate reports on-demand from the team dashboard sidebar
  • • Choose any time period (7 days, 30 days, week, or month)
  • • Copy markdown to clipboard or send directly to your channel
  • • Not affected by automated summary schedule settings

Testing & Preview

  • • Send test summaries to verify webhook configuration
  • • Test with different report periods to preview formats
  • • Test notifications use last 7 days of data
  • • Test both Slack and Teams integrations independently

Real-Time Pull Request Notifications

In addition to weekly summaries, you can enable instant notifications when new pull requests are opened and need review. This helps reduce lead time and keeps your team responsive to new code contributions.

What's Included:

  • • Real-time alerts sent to your configured Slack or Teams channel
  • • PR title, author, repository, and status information
  • • Direct links to view the PR and team dashboard
  • • Toggle on/off independently from weekly summaries in Team Settings

Note: PR notifications are configured in the same Team Settings → Webhooks section as weekly summaries. For more details on pull request tracking and workflows, see the Pull Requests and Workflows documentation.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

  • • Messages not appearing: Verify webhook URL is correct and channel permissions allow incoming webhooks
  • • Formatting issues: Some channels may display markdown differently - test summaries help identify formatting problems
  • • Timing problems: Check that your team timezone is configured correctly in settings

Best Practices

  • • Use dedicated channels (e.g., #team-metrics) to avoid noise in general channels
  • • Test webhook configuration before enabling weekly summaries
  • • Configure summaries to arrive at the start of your team's work week
  • • Enable summaries for key stakeholders and team leads
