How it works
You reach Triage in three places, and it brings the same investigation toolkit to each:- Slack:
@Raindropfrom any channel and continue in-thread. - Web: chat with Triage from inside the Raindrop app.
- MCP: your coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) can call it too. See the MCP overview.
Roles and permissions
- The Triage Agent requires a paid plan. Issue Detection and Stumbles additionally require the Pro plan; without it, Triage still investigates using signals, events, and conversations.
- Changing the org-wide conversation scope (Settings → Triage Agent → Use all projects) is limited to Owner and Admin. See Project scope.
Using the Triage Agent
Ask a question
@mention Raindrop with a question. Triage runs the investigation, replies in thread with examples and a hypothesis, and keeps context across follow-ups (“is this still happening?”, “didn’t we fix it last week?”) so you can keep poking until you understand the issue. For broad questions such as “what issues happened today?”, Triage checks both Issue Detection reports for broader distribution changes and Stumbles for individual interactions where something bad happened.

Schedule investigations with Agent Briefs
Agent Briefs are scheduled investigations Triage runs on a cadence and posts back to Slack. Describe what you want investigated and when, and Triage saves the prompt, the schedule, and the destination, then runs the investigation against fresh data on every tick.
- From Slack
- From the app
@mention Raindrop with a scheduling request. Triage will confirm and save it.Prefixing with
Remind me: also works:- Prompt: the investigation Triage runs each tick (e.g. “summarize tool error rates each morning”)
- Schedule: a standard 5-field cron expression, running at most once every 3 hours. Common cadences like daily, weekly, or weekday-only are inferred from natural language
- Timezone: defaults to your org’s default timezone
- Channel: Slack channel to post to (or your DM)
- Status: active or paused, plus a Run now action
Summarize tool error rates each morningWeekly, show me which users churned last week and what issues they hitEvery Monday, highlight any new use cases from last weekEvery day until Friday, report on the checkout-v2 rollout
Get a Daily Digest
There’s a built-in Daily Digest that ships out of the box: a morning summary of patterns and changes from the day before. Toggle it on at Settings → Notifications. Compact mode posts one-liners with details in-thread.Set custom monitors
Set thresholds on any signal (error rate, frustration rate, a custom classifier) and Raindrop pings the channel when the threshold is crossed. Configure them at Settings → Notifications under Signal Alerts, or ask Triage in Slack to set one up. See Alerts for the full configuration options.
Create signals from chat
When an investigation surfaces a pattern worth tracking going forward, ask Triage to track it and it’ll draft a signal for you, no leaving the conversation.Fix issues in your coding agent
Triage is also available as an MCP server, so Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any other MCP-compatible coding agent can call it directly. Your agent pulls a live issue from production, reads the failing examples, edits the relevant file, runs tests, and opens a PR, all without leaving your editor.Reference
Project scope
Triage operates within your projects. A conversation reads and writes one project’s data at a time, or runs across all projects at once, depending on the surface and your settings:
When a conversation runs across all projects, creating something project-scoped (a signal, an Agent Brief, an alert) first asks which project it should live in.
Troubleshooting
Triage says Issue Detection or Stumbles isn’t available. Both require the Pro plan. Triage keeps investigating with signals, events, and conversations in the meantime. See Roles and permissions. Triage can’t see data you expected. Check the conversation’s project scope. A project-scoped chat only reads that one project, so switch projects or widen the scope. See Project scope. @Raindrop doesn’t respond in Slack. Confirm Raindrop is installed and has been invited to the channel. See Get started.Get started
