Track architecture discussions across multiple channels, extract key decisions, and automatically update your design system documentation.

Workflow Steps

1

Slack

Set up architecture channel monitoring

Create a dedicated Slack channel for architecture discussions and configure keyword alerts for terms like 'decision', 'architecture', 'design pattern', and 'technical debt' to capture relevant conversations.

2

Zapier

Trigger on architecture-related messages

Set up a Zapier webhook that triggers when specific keywords are mentioned in your architecture Slack channel. Filter for messages that contain decision-making language or technical specifications.

3

OpenAI

Extract and summarize key decisions

Send the captured Slack messages to OpenAI with a prompt to identify architectural decisions, rationale, alternatives considered, and any action items. Format the output as structured data with categories.

4

Notion

Log decisions in architecture database

Automatically create new entries in a Notion database with properties for Decision Type, Components Affected, Rationale, Date, and Participants. Tag related decisions and link to relevant documentation.
