5. Under Step 3, begin typing the name of the Collection. Only Collections you have access to will appear.
6. If creating a Folder feed, continue to Step 4 and select the specific folder.
7. Before confirming, you'll see a summary of your feed setup (e.g., New Cards and folders added to Technical Support Team will be displayed in #technicalsupport-activityfeed.)

Frequently Asked Questions

How many activity feeds can I create in a single Slack channel?

There is no limit. You can create as many activity feeds as you’d like in one channel.

Why does an existing Card appear as "new" in the feed?

If a Card’s privacy and sharing settings are changed from Public or Restricted to Your Guru Teammates, it will be treated as a new Card. This triggers a notification in the activity feed, as the Card is now newly accessible to the team.
