A daily update can refer to a variety of things—a report, a status update, a daily activity checklist, or even just an email reminder. How often you schedule these updates will depend on your context and how dynamic your project is; a fast-moving, large-scale construction project, for example, may need schedule updates daily or even every week to ensure everyone has the most up-to-date information on hand.
If your users are likely to want this type of content, prompt them to subscribe by using a daily update subscription flow. Invoke one of your Action’s intents that you’ve configured as a daily update and follow up with a registration prompt (you can add this mid-conversation or as a suggestion chip when the user exits your Action successfully). Then, at their scheduled time, a push notification will appear on the device where they invoked your Action, allowing them to see your content.
To configure your Action for daily updates, open the Actions console and select Develop in the top menu, then click Intents in the left menu. Click the + icon to add a new daily update intent. Then, create the user intent handling for the new daily update intent by adding a new flow in the User Intents section. When you’re done, test the flow by invoking your Action and checking your device’s notifications around the time you want to send your daily updates. If you find that your daily updates aren’t providing value, consider adjusting the timing of them or adding a registration prompt mid-conversation.
