How to Enable the Daily Update Feature in Your Actions

Daily update is a quick, efficient meeting for teammates to discuss important business updates. Unlike a typical synchronous meeting, daily update meetings are held asynchronously so teammates can answer questions at a time convenient for them (rather than having to attend a meeting that may not fit their schedule). In addition, many teams decide to broadcast the daily update in an existing team channel instead of creating a dedicated one, which makes it easier to manage attendance.

When a user invokes your Action and subscribes to daily updates, they receive an Assistant notification on their device at the scheduled time each day. This is an important feature to enable, as it ensures that your Action will provide value to users on a regular basis rather than being forgotten after a single use. If you choose to offer a subscription prompt, consider giving the user some context by showing them the benefit of your Action first. This will help them understand why your prompt is a good idea. Also, avoid repeating the daily update subscription prompt too often and in too many contexts.

To configure your Action for daily updates, select the button and then create or edit an intent that you want to be the triggering intent for this feature. For example, you could use the default template daily update or add your own custom questions to the intent. When a user invokes this intent, the Action should automatically open a conversation that answers their question.
