Morning briefing

The job: start each day with one scannable summary instead of opening four apps. Dispatch builds a scheduled automation that runs every morning and sends you a digest of your day: calendar, open todos, unread mail and messages, and any conflicts or gaps.

Touches: Automations, Meetings, Inbox, Todos, and a delivery channel (Slack, Telegram, or email).

Prep: Connect a calendar and your email so there is a day to summarize. Connect Slack or Telegram if you want the briefing delivered there instead of by email.

Set up the briefing

Set up a daily morning briefing for me. Ask me what time I'd like to receive it and which platform to send it on (Slack, Telegram, or email). Once confirmed, create a scheduled automation that runs every morning and sends me a summary of:

    My calendar for the day — meetings, times, attendees, and locations
    Active todos — especially anything due or overdue
    Unread emails or messages that need my attention
    Any schedule conflicts or noteworthy gaps

Keep the briefing concise and scannable.

What you'll see back: Dispatch asks for the delivery time and channel, then creates a recurring scheduled automation. From the next morning on, the briefing arrives on schedule. The automation is a file under automations, so you can ask Dispatch to change the time, adjust what it includes, or turn it off later.

Try variants

• "Add an end-of-day recap at 6pm": a second scheduled automation for the evening.
• "Only include meetings with external attendees in the briefing": narrow the calendar section.
• "Send the briefing only on weekdays": constrain the schedule.
