CoNote

Categories

The seven system categories that classify and color every note on your timeline.

Every note belongs to one category — a fixed, system-defined classification that colors its bar on the timeline and makes a busy period scannable at a glance. Categories are not editable; for your own grouping, use tags instead.

The seven categories

CategoryWhat it's for
DeploymentCode releases, container publishes, shipped changes
CampaignMarketing campaign starts, pauses, budget changes
ConfigurationTag-manager changes, feature flags, A/B tests
IncidentDowntime, error spikes, alerts
SEOAlgorithm updates, ranking changes
ContentBlog posts, page publishes, copy changes
ExternalWeather, holidays, industry events outside your control

How categories get assigned

  • Integrations assign a category automatically — GitHub uses Deployment, Tag Manager uses Configuration, Uptime uses Incident, and so on.
  • Manual notes let you pick the category when you log them.

The color coding is what makes correlation visual: an Incident (red) sitting right after a Deployment is a story you can read across the timeline without opening a single note.
