A daily update is a key tool that fosters alignment and engagement by keeping teammates on the same page about organisational activities and initiatives. They can be delivered in the form of emails, app notifications, brief meetings, or a platform like tchop(tm). Typically, they’re short and focused on the day’s priorities and events. They’re also typically scheduled at a consistent time to establish routine and reliability.
Often, teams choose to broadcast the content of their daily updates in existing team channels rather than creating a dedicated one. This allows teammates to participate in the conversation at a time that fits their schedules and avoids the cost of a synchronous meeting. Having the ability to share their progress and celebrate wins with their peers also builds trust, which can help increase action rates.
Frequent daily updates allow team members to identify any challenges they are facing and how they’ve overcome them. This enables team leaders to better understand where teammates are at on their work, which can make it easier for them to distribute tasks effectively. It also provides a great way for team members to share any new ideas they’ve come up with or ways to improve performance.
To enable your users to subscribe to daily updates, configure one of your Action’s intents as a triggering intent and add the daily update option as the response. You’ll need to add a prompt for subscribing to the daily update, which can be delivered as a mid-conversation registration prompt or as a suggestion chip when the user exits your Action successfully. If you’re using Dialogflow for your Action, you can collect custom parameters from the user when they register their intent to personalize your daily updates—see the article for details on how to do this.
