Brilliant idea, I have far too many slack communities to keep track of.

This is incredible!

Really awesome product - I run into the problem of keeping all of the community members engaged, and have tried to drag content into Mailchimp and send manually to a list of emails exported from Slack (but need to add new emails every time that I get new members since it doesn't update itself). Will try it out this week :) Would love if the platform populated previews of content as well.

@dominicl Hey Dominic - thanks 😊When you say "populated previews of content" which content are you referring too. Keen to understand your use case. Thanks again
Dominic Lau
@shylands for example, when i want to include an article shared in slack, i'd love to have it show a preview (kind of like when slack previews the article with the image + subtext) or when i want to include a pdf attachment, maybe showing the title page as well.
Steven Hylands
@dominicl Ah got ya. We're on it ;) Specifically for links and images attached to posts at least initially. Generally we plan to make the newsletter much more visual and interesting 😊

Oh wow - this is actually exactly what we were looking for to avoid the manual task we have each week for Traffic Think Tank 2.0

Someone needs to do this with Facebook timelines. Maybe Twitter too.

Brilliant idea, so much good stuff can be lost in slack. Installing immediately!

This makes so much sense, can't understand why no one has done it before!

@conorg763 Thanks Conor! Yeah it works really well especially in those very busy Slacks.
