Daily update is a quick, timely message shared with employees to communicate organisational priorities and announcements. Typically delivered via email, app notifications, or team huddles, these updates are intended to be concise, actionable, and engaging. Often, these updates include visuals and information that is specifically relevant to the employee, enhancing clarity and reducing miscommunication. They’re also delivered at a consistent time each day, helping to establish routine and build trust.
Users subscribe to daily updates by following a prompt for subscribing, which you can configure as part of your Action. You can choose to show this prompt mid-conversation or as a suggestion chip when the conversation ends. After the user follows the prompt, they schedule a time of day at which they’d like to receive your daily update, registering it with Google Assistant.
Once configured, Geekbot automatically delivers your daily update questions and answers to teammates in the preferred broadcast channel (e.g., a new Microsoft Teams channel called #daily-update) at a time that is convenient for them in their local timezone. Additionally, you can choose to enable reminder notifications for teammates who’d like to be reminded to complete their daily update responses within a specific timeframe.
Automation simplifies the delivery of daily updates by scheduling messages, segmenting audiences, and tracking engagement metrics. Tools like tchop(tm) or email marketing platforms streamline the process while ensuring consistency and accuracy. In addition, personalised, targeted communication based on departments, roles, or locations improves relevance and engagement. You can use analytics and feedback to assess the effectiveness of your daily updates, addressing common challenges such as over-loading employees with information, irregular scheduling, or lack of relevance.
