For everyone

Scheduled jobs and digests

The Monday digest, and standing jobs you set up by asking: what runs when, and how to pause or delete it.

What runs by itself

What	When (US Eastern)	Who gets it

Pre-meeting brief	A few minutes before a meeting	You, if your calendar is connected

The Monday recap

Every Monday, Your week in follow-through sums up the last week across the team:

tasks tracked, done and overdue, and your follow-through rate;
the single most overdue task;
how much overdue work each person is carrying.

It covers boards everyone can see, and is skipped in a week where nothing came due and nothing is overdue.

On weekday mornings each person gets one short DM, here’s your day, with what’s due today and what’s slipping, ending Reply and I’ll update the board.It’s skipped when there’s nothing to say, and turned off with the person’s Nudges setting.

Jobs you set up

Ask for anything on a schedule and Pondros sets it up as an automation:

@Pondros every Monday at 9, post what slipped last week in #leads

@Pondros every Friday afternoon, DM me the open items on Northwind

@Pondros each morning, check #support for questions nobody answered

It posts where you asked, or where you set it up.
By default it only posts when something changed since the last run. Say “every time” if you want it regardless.
It can only post in channels it’s in; if it isn’t, it tells you and sets nothing up.

Note

If a job fails three runs in a row, Pondros pauses it and tells you. Nothing else is changed; ask it to start again when it’s worth another try.

Pause, change or delete
