Adding Primary Intelligence to Contify via Email, Slack and MS Teams

Contify continually aims to simplify the collection, organization, and distribution of vital market and competitive insights for its users. One of the platform's innovative features enable users to add primary intelligence directly through email, Slack and MS Teams.

This feature seamlessly integrates primary intelligence with Contify's existing repository of secondary intelligence, providing a centralized solution for all intelligence needs.

In this blog, we'll discuss how the feature works with both email, Slack and MS Teams, and why it is a valuable and nifty feature for intelligence professionals to collect primary intelligence leveraging their customer-facing teams.

Adding Primary Intelligence via Email

The addition of primary intelligence via email to Contify is a simple process, enabling users to seamlessly integrate insights from primary intelligence directly into their market and competitive intelligence platform.

All users need to do is send an email with the information to ‘insights@contify.com’. Contify looks at the sender’s email address and adds the intelligence directly to the respective users’ platform. A new update is created with the following components:

- Email Subject becomes the Title of the Insight

The subject line of the email is utilized as the title of the added primary intelligence story. This ensures that the key focus or theme of the intelligence is immediately clear and enables users to quickly identify the contents.

- Email Body becomes the body of the Insight

The content within the email's body is transformed into the introduction or summary of the story. This is a concise overview that provides readers with the essential context, main points, or findings of the primary intelligence, offering a snapshot of the information contained within.

- Email Attachment becomes Insight's Supporting Documents

Any files or documents attached to the email are included as attachments to the intelligence story. These can be essential in providing additional detail, evidence, or supporting material that complements the core intelligence.

Whether graphs, PDFs, spreadsheets, or images, these attachments can enrich the content and provide a more holistic view of the intelligence.

After the email content is added as the insight (primary intelligence), it becomes a part of the regular Contify newsfeed. For example, users can comment on it, share via email, add it to the newsletter, etc.

Adding Primary Intelligence via Slack

Integrating Contify with Slack offers businesses a new channel to infuse real-time insights into their intelligence platform.

- Direct Integration

Contify can be linked with specific Slack channels, enabling users to add insights directly from their daily conversations and observations. Whether it's a market trend or a competitor's move, it can be captured effortlessly.

- Collaborative Intelligence Building

By integrating Slack with Contify, teams can collaborate and contribute insights in a shared environment. This fosters a culture of intelligence-sharing and ensures that insights are easily accessible to all relevant stakeholders.

Adding Primary Intelligence via MS Teams

The Contify platform seamlessly integrates with MS Teams and enables you to share intelligence/updates between the two platforms. To share updates from Contify to MS Teams, follow these simple steps:

1. Click on the share icon on the news card

2. Choose "MS Teams."
