Keep docs in sync with PRs

Get notified when pull requests impact your docs.

Falconer automatically detects when a merged pull request impacts your existing documentation and proposes targeted updates — delivered straight to document owners through Slack.

Automatic doc updates is a new feature. Contact us at support@falconer.com for a demo.

Prerequisites

Before enabling automated documentation updates, make sure you have:

Connected your GitHub App and Slack workspace to Falconer
Been assigned as an owner of the documents you want to receive updates for

How it works

When a PR merges, Falconer analyzes the code changes, identifies which documents are affected, drafts proposed updates, and notifies the right people. Owners can accept, review, or reject changes without leaving Slack.

Update notifications

If a PR impacts a doc you own, you'll receive a notification in Slack.

Accept

Changes apply immediately to the document.

Review

Opens the document in the Falconer editor with a side-by-side diff of the proposed changes. You can make manual edits before accepting or rejecting.

Reject

Discards the proposed changes entirely.
