# The daily digest

_One email a day with what is there, instead of forty separate alerts._

**Responde a:** daily activity digest · one email with everything pending · too many alerts group them · automatic daily report

If alerts reach you one by one as things happen, within two weeks you are ignoring them. The daily digest does the opposite: one a day, at the time you choose, with what is actually there.

## What it carries

**En corto**

- What arrived since yesterday and awaits review.
- What is stuck and who it is waiting on.
- What expires soon.

## Why it works better than separate alerts

| Separate alerts | Daily digest |
| --- | --- |
| They interrupt when something happens | It is read when you decide |
| Forty a day get ignored | One a day gets opened |
| They do not say what is urgent | It is ordered by what matters |

> [!IMPORTANT]
> The digest does not replace alerts for urgent things. A rejected document or a case that unblocks does deserve an interruption; the rest can wait until tomorrow morning. The combination that works is few immediate alerts plus a digest for everything else.

> [!WARNING]
> Generating the digest consumes once a day; sending it consumes nothing, whether it goes to one person or twenty. It is a fixed, predictable consumption, but worth knowing before enabling it.

> [!NOTE]
> Set it for first thing, not end of day. A digest arriving at seven in the evening gets read tomorrow, and by then there is another.

**Can I choose what it includes?**

Yes, and you should: a digest with everything becomes noise again.

**Does everyone get the same one?**

Each person receives their own, based on what is theirs.

**What about weekends?**

It can be adjusted; a Sunday digest rarely helps.

## Ejemplos

**A six-person team receives separate alerts and nobody opens them any more.**

- Keeps immediate alerts only for rejections and unblocks
- Enables the digest at 8am

→ They find out what is happening again, with one email a day instead of forty.

**Somebody logs in three times a day to check whether anything moved.**

- Turns on the daily digest with what changed
- Sets the time to when it actually gets read
- Leaves out anything not requiring action

→ Three daily visits become one thirty-second email.

**The digest arrives at six in the morning and is read at midday.**

- Adjusts the send time

→ The digest arrives when action is possible.

**The digest includes everything and fills two screens.**

- Leaves only what requires action

→ The digest gets read in full.

**The digest arrives and nobody knows what to do with each line.**

- Includes a direct link to each file

→ You act from the digest itself.

**The digest arrives while on holiday.**

- Pauses the digest or redirects it to the deputy

→ The digest reaches somebody who can act.
