Capturing Knowledge
Turn decisions and explanations into reviewed documentation, from Slack or the web app.
Capture is how knowledge gets into Docpipe. Instead of writing documents from scratch, your team sends in a decision, an explanation, or a process change — from Slack, the web app, or a voice note — and Docpipe turns it into a precise, reviewed update to the right document.
How capture works
Every capture follows the same path: Docpipe drafts a proposal — the smallest useful change, and where it belongs — and a reviewer approves it before it becomes part of your knowledge base. See How proposals work for the full lifecycle.
Ways to capture
- Capture from Slack — send knowledge with the
/docpipecommand, without leaving Slack. - Watched channels — opt channels into review so documentation-worthy moments are caught as they happen.
- Voice capture — record a voice note and file it into your docs.
Review what's captured
- How proposals work — what happens between a capture and a saved change.
- Reviewing proposals — approve, edit, or reject proposed changes in the review inbox.
Capturing from Slack is what keeps Docpipe current without extra work, because knowledge gets recorded where decisions actually happen. If you haven't connected Slack yet, start with Capture from Slack.
