In this step-by-step tutorial, Elly Meenan, Legal Ops Engineer at Wordsmith, demonstrates how to set up an automated **Horizon Scanning** workflow that monitors regulatory updates, industry news, and competitor moves - directly in Slack, **with or without Zapier**.
You’ll learn how to:
• Identify and subscribe to relevant RSS feeds (e.g., TechCrunch, Gov.UK)
• Build a Zapier automation that filters news items by topic (like “AI”)
• Send filtered updates into a dedicated Slack channel
• Configure Wordsmith to read and summarize articles using custom instructions
• Automatically flag internal policies, tag responsible team members, and surface key actions
• **Set up the same workflow entirely in Slack if you don’t use Zapier (Watch from 7:58 for how to do it without Zapier)**
This practical tutorial shows how legal and compliance teams can stay ahead of change by automating early-warning signals for risks and opportunities.
Ideal for legal ops professionals, in-house counsel, and anyone looking to streamline monitoring and reporting using low-code tools like Slack, Zapier, and Wordsmith.
