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
