Slack reports
Weave can send automated reports to Slack. Configure these in Settings > Notifications.
All reports include customizable metrics — for example, code output, PR volume, review turnaround, output per engineer, stale PRs, and output waiting for review. Channel reports let you choose the destination channel and schedule. Individual reports are sent in each user’s timezone.
For PR notifications, you can set a code output threshold—only PRs exceeding this value trigger a notification.

Mention the Weave bot in any channel or send it a DM to ask questions about your team’s metrics. Example questions:- “What was our team’s code output last week?”
- “Who had the most PR reviews this sprint?”
- “Show me the trend for cycle time”
The AI assistant requires Team Lead role or higher to use.
