How to Add a Daily Update to Your Actions

Daily update is an informal term for a short summary of events, progress or changes that occur on a daily basis. They are commonly used in contexts like news reports, status updates, or software updates.

For example, a team may have a daily stand-up meeting where members briefly share their progress and challenges in front of the rest of the team. These meetings are designed to be fast and focused on real-time feedback loops, so that team members can quickly identify issues and find solutions. They are a great way to keep everyone in the loop, but they can also cause miscommunication and lower productivity if not implemented effectively. Weekly updates are a more structured approach to feedback, where team members write a brief recap of their plans, successes and challenges for the week and share them with others in a formal setting such as a meeting or email.

To add daily updates to your Action, configure one of its intents as the triggering intent and include a response that prompts users to subscribe to it. Be sure to offer this prompt right after showing the user the benefit of your Action, and avoid repeating the prompt too often. If a user decides not to subscribe, you can transition them from your Action to a system scene that stops delivering the daily update notifications.
