Create comms
Comms are the primary way to manage your formal communications in Brivvy.
Overview
Comms are formal communications designed for structured, thoughtful content rather than quick messages. Unlike instant messaging in Slack, comms are intended for content that requires more consideration and typically has a broader or more permanent audience.
Comms are commonly used for:
Product announcements
Changelogs
Blog posts
Job postings
Quarterly updates
Client-facing communications
Creating a comm
Brivvy works where you work. Whether you prefer to create comms inside Brivvy or outside is entirely up to you.
Creating with Brivvy
Navigate to the Comms page and click the New Comm button to open the comm creation interface.
Creating with chat client
You'll soon be able to create comms directly from AI clients like Claude or ChatGPT via the MCP server. When creating content in these AI clients, you can instruct them to create a comm in Brivvy, or the AI client will prompt you to save your work as a comm.
Comm properties
Comms support the following properties:
Name - A descriptive title for your comm
Status - The current state of your comm
Content - The main content of your comm
Assignee - The person responsible for the comm
Template - If the comm was created using a template, this indicates which template was applied
Creator - The person who created the comm
Date - Timestamp information for the comm
When creating a comm, you can apply a template to structure your content. For example, you might create a changelog comm using your changelog template, or a blog post comm using your blog template.
Best practices
Since comms are designed for more formal, public-facing, or permanent communications:
Take time to review and refine your content before publishing
Use appropriate templates to maintain consistency across similar comm types
Assign comms to the appropriate team member for accountability
Keep comm status updated to reflect the current stage of your communication
