The digest

Whatever is still unread in your Activity, sent at the start and end of your day.

Notifications tell you about things the moment they happen. The digest is the other half: whatever is still unread in your Activity, in one message, at the start and the end of your day.

What is in it

One line for each unread item in Activity, grouped the way Settings lists them: mentions, things you were added to, new Threads, new Breakouts, work Rally finished, and merges. Each line reads as it does in the sidebar, such as "Maya started Q3 plan", and links to it.

  • Nothing unread, nothing sent. No "nothing to report" messages.
  • It does not mark anything read. An item stays in Activity, and in the next digest, until you open it or mark Activity read.
  • It lists your newest 250 items. Anything older is still in Activity.

Where it goes

Choose any mix under Send to:

  • Personal Channel. The digest arrives as a new Thread in your Personal Channel, named after the slot and the day, such as "Start of day · 15 Oct". It shows as unread like any message from Rally.
  • Email, from Rally notifications@rallywith.ai, to the address you sign in with.
  • Slack, as a direct message from the Rally app, once Rally is installed in your Slack workspace and you have linked your account with Connect Rally. Other messaging apps that can reach you appear here too.

If a place stops accepting the digest, for example because a connection was removed, Rally stops sending there and marks it as needing your attention rather than failing quietly.

Setting it up

Open Settings → Notifications and scroll to Daily digest. Changes save as you make them.

  1. Start of day and End of day each have a time and a switch. By default the start of day digest is on at 7:45 AM on weekdays, sent to your email and, unless you are a guest, your Personal Channel. The end of day one is off.
  2. Send to picks where it goes. In a narrow window it is one button naming what is on, such as Rally and Email; click it for a list you can tick.
  3. Days is Weekdays or Every day.

Times use the time zone in your account. Change next to Days takes you there. There is no separate time zone for the digest.

One digest per Organization

You get one digest per Organization you belong to, each set up in that Organization's Settings.

Note

If you cannot find Daily digest in Settings → Notifications, the digest has been turned off for your account or Organization by the Rally team.
