Logging notes by hand
When a tool can't report an event, log it yourself in a few seconds — with a title, date, category, and tags.
Most events should arrive automatically through integrations. But some things — a contract signed, an agency handover, an offline campaign — have no webhook to send them. That's what manual notes are for.
Logging a note
Press n anywhere on the timeline, or use the new-note button in the top-right, to open the composer.
A note needs only a few things:
- Title — what happened, written so it makes sense months later. "Deployed checkout v3" beats "deploy".
- Event date — when it happened, not when you logged it. Backdating is encouraged.
- Category — one of the seven categories that colors the note.
- Tags (optional) — your own free-form labels for grouping.
- Description (optional) — the details you'll thank yourself for later.
Write titles for your future self. The whole value of the logbook is being readable months after the fact — see the content standards behind every good note title.
Notes are notes, whatever the source
A manual note sits on the timeline exactly like an automatic one. The only difference is its source label, which reads "Logged manually" so you always know where an event came from.
