Scheduled digest

Coming soon. This isn't available to customers yet.

Gathers a connected app's updates and posts them as one summary on the schedule you choose. Chat is coming soon.

Use it when

You'd rather read an app's updates in one go than as they happen, for example a morning summary of yesterday's orders. When Chat opens, it's the Summary choice when you add updates from an app to a conversation. The schedule starts at 9:00 every day in your time zone; you can pick days of the week, or a day of the month from the 1st to the 28th or the last day. If you need to see each update as soon as it arrives, show them individually or grouped instead.

How to get an app's updates as a summary

Before you start: choose the channel, or the conversation with other people, where the summary should go.

1. Open Chat from your sidebar, then open that conversation.
2. At the top, press Conversation options (⋯), then People….
3. Press More, then Add updates from an app.
4. Under Get updates from, pick the app.
5. Under Show as, choose Summary, then set Which days and At.
6. Press Next, then Turn on updates.
7. Press Add updates.

The window closes. From now on, the app's new updates come into this conversation as one summary on your schedule.

Example

Sweet Crumb Bakery, a fictional bakery, adds its shop's orders to #orders as a summary every weekday at 7:00. Each weekday morning one post lists the orders since the last summary; on a day with no new orders, nothing is posted.
