👋 Hey Product Hunt
6 months ago we launched the first version of Lowdown — a tool to autogenerate newsletters for Slack communities. We’ve now sent more than 80,000 emails to 14,000 people, across 300 organisations. 🎉
Since then Lowdown has improved in every way and evolved into a tool that highlights the most valuable posts shared in all kinds of teams on Slack. We’re thrilled to launch version 2 today.
Here’s how the new-and-improved product works:
👁 Identify content automatically
You identify channels and keywords for Lowdown to analyse and our Slackbot will automatically suggest great posts to highlight in your email digests.
📣 Instantly add any Slack post
React to any post in your Slack with 📣 to add it to an email.
📅 Set a schedule that suits
Select a day, time and frequency for your email digest. Lowdown then creates and sends automatically.
✅ Easily subscribe your members
Add your Slack members as recipients in one-click or use our Slackbot to collect their permission.

Thanks guys 🖖
We've been using Lowdown with a 150 person Slack. Love receiving the Lowdown from Lowdown in my inbox it highlights the stuff that got buried or forgotten about. Really pleased to see the schedule feature and to nudge members. Congratulations + can't wait for the personal digest.
I seen the first version of Lowdown and thought it was super interesting, and I've been meaning to get a trial for my team for a while — but with the forced shift to fully remote due to the global pandemic, the amount of Slack activity in our place has increased tenfold.
More channels, more stuff to check, more important info being posted into channels I'm not always in (or even want to be in) I'm genuinely concerned i'm going to miss stuff day to day now.
Gonna give this a go. Nice work @shylands@philmclure
@itsdavidhughes Thanks David, hopefully we can get you set up soon! Lowdown is perfect for surfacing information in channels you can't spare the time to read. For example your design team might get a digest of key dev activity. That means you don't have to read all the back-and-forth chat and just get the highlights.
