Daily Digest

The daily digest is a personalized email summary FanDesk sends every morning to help you start your day fully informed — without needing to open the app first.

What the Digest Includes

The digest is assembled fresh each day with information relevant to you specifically:

Open Incidents

If there are any open Critical or High severity incidents in your organization, they appear at the top of the digest:

  • Incident title and unique key (e.g., INC-42)
  • Severity level (Critical, High)
  • Current status
  • Direct link to view the incident in FanDesk

This ensures incident responders see urgent issues even before opening the app.

Tasks Due Today

Your personal task list for the day:

  • Every task assigned to you that is due today
  • Overdue tasks (highlighted differently so they stand out)
  • Priority indicator for each task
  • Direct link to open each task in FanDesk

Today's Calendar

Your full schedule for the day:

  • All events in chronological order
  • Event title, time, and duration
  • Google Meet join links included inline
  • All times shown in your configured timezone

Reading List

An AI-curated selection of content relevant to your interests and work:

  • Daily Factoid — A surprising, relevant fact generated by AI each morning
  • Industry Articles — Content curated based on your role, department, and topics of interest
  • Links open directly to the source

Summary Stats

Quick counts at a glance:

  • Number of open incidents
  • Number of tasks due today
  • Number of events scheduled

When the Digest Is Sent

The digest arrives at the start of your active hours in your configured timezone:

  • Default: 9:00 AM in your timezone
  • Customizable in Settings > Profile (Active Hours)

If you set your active hours start to 8:00 AM, the digest arrives at 8:00 AM. If you are in IST and your teammate is in PST, each receives the digest at 9:00 AM in their own timezone.


Timezone Awareness

All times in the digest respect your timezone (set in Settings > Profile):

  • Task due times shown in your local time
  • Calendar event times shown in your local time
  • The digest sends at your local morning time, not the server's timezone

Customizing the Digest

Enable or Disable

  1. Go to Settings > Notifications
  2. Find Daily Digest Email
  3. Toggle it on or off

The digest is opt-in — it is off by default. Turn it on to start receiving it.

Reading List Preferences

Customize the articles and topics included in your reading list:

  1. Go to Settings > Digest
  2. Set Topics — up to 10 topics you want to follow (e.g., "SaaS growth", "AI engineering", "startup fundraising")
  3. Add Preferred Sources — specific publications or websites you follow
  4. Save changes

Your preferences are used the next morning when the digest is assembled.
