Changes to GitHub Commits trigger page:

    • Using commits alongside PR triggers (get PR comments + updated suggestions after merge)
    • Using commits only (less noise, but requires Slack notification channel)
  • New "Notification Channels" section with step-by-step configuration instructions
  • Note about inviting Promptless to private Slack channels

Changes to Slack integration page:

  • New "Adding Promptless to Private Channels" subsection explaining how to invite Promptless by tagging @Promptless in the channel

Agent Response

I've completed the documentation updates. Here's a summary of what I did:

Documentation gaps identified from the Slack thread:
The conversation between you and Pery revealed several topics that weren't clearly documented:

  1. The two approaches for using GitHub commit triggers (alongside PRs vs. commits only)
  2. That commit-only triggers don't get PR comments, making Slack notifications important
  3. How to configure notification channels for commit triggers
  4. How to add Promptless to private Slack channels

Changes made:

  1. GitHub Commits trigger page - Added:

    • "Commits vs. Pull Requests" section explaining both approaches
    • "Notification Channels" section with step-by-step configuration
    • Note about inviting Promptless to private channels by tagging @Promptless
  2. Slack integration page - Added:

    • "Adding Promptless to Private Channels" subsection explaining the @Promptless tagging method

For future reference, you can now direct customers to these specific documentation sections:

  • /docs/configuration/triggers/github-commits#commits-vs-pull-requests
  • /docs/configuration/triggers/github-commits#notification-channels
  • /docs/integrations/slack-integration#adding-promptless-to-private-channels

Citation: Based on prithvi's explanation of the two approaches: (1) commits + PRs for getting PR comments plus updated suggestions after merge, or (2) commits only for teams who find PR triggers too noisy. When using commits only, you won't get PR comments so a Slack notification channel is recommended.

By default, Promptless only reads Slack content when you explicitly trigger it by tagging @Promptless or using the "Update Docs" message action. If you enable passive listening in your project settings, Promptless will monitor only the specific channels you select. Promptless cannot access private channels unless it has been specifically invited to those channels.

Citation: Based on prithvi's advice that if a notification channel is private, you need to add Promptless to it first—the easiest way is to tag @promptless in that channel.
