# Daily Briefings via iMessage

> Set up recurring morning briefings with meetings, VIP emails, and pending follow-ups delivered to your phone.

Set up a recurring daily briefing and every morning get a text summarizing your day: meetings, unread VIP emails, and pending follow-ups. Read it with coffee, before opening your laptop.

<Info>The iMessage agent must be connected first. See [Setting Up the iMessage Agent](/how-to-guides/imessage-setup) if you haven't done this yet.</Info>

## Set Up Your Morning Briefing

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the agent sidebar">
    Press `Cmd+Shift+L`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create the automation">
    Type: *"Set up a recurring agent reminder: every weekday at 8am, send me a morning briefing on iMessage. Include today's calendar meetings, unread emails from VIPs, and any pending follow-ups."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm the preview">
    The agent shows you a summary of the automation it will create. Confirm to activate it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Receive your first briefing">
    Your first briefing arrives the next weekday at 8am. Reply to it to act on any items immediately.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>Set up your briefing at the end of your first day with Slashy. By the next morning, you will have a personalized daily summary waiting on your phone.</Tip>

## What the Briefing Includes

A typical briefing:

> **Good morning. Here is your briefing for Tuesday, March 24.**
>
> **Calendar (4 meetings):**
> 9:00am - Team standup (Google Meet)

## Customize Content

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Add Sections">
    * *"Include a count of total unread emails per label"*
    * *"Include tasks due today or overdue"*
    * *"Include emails where someone is waiting on me for 2+ days"*
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Remove Sections">
    * *"Don't include follow-ups, just calendar and VIP emails"*
    * *"Skip recurring internal meetings"*
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Change VIPs">
    * *"VIPs are anyone from @sequoia.com, my co-founder [alex@mycompany.com](mailto:alex@mycompany.com), and anyone in my Investors label"*
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Adjust Schedule

* *"Change my briefing to 7:30am"*
* *"Send every day including weekends"*
* *"Also send an end-of-day briefing at 5pm with just pending follow-ups"*
* *"Pause the briefing for the next week while I'm on vacation"*

## Add an End-of-Day Wrap-Up

Many users pair a morning briefing with an evening summary. Here is how to set up both:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create the EOD automation">
    In the agent sidebar, type: *"Set up a recurring agent reminder: every weekday at 5pm, send me an end-of-day summary on iMessage. Include emails I didn't reply to today, commitments I made, and tomorrow's first meeting."*
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    You now get two briefings -- one to start your day, one to close it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Respond and Act

Text back to act on items immediately:

* *"Draft a reply to Mark's email confirming we'll have metrics by Friday"*
* *"Cancel my 4:30 design review and let Alex know I need to reschedule"*
* *"Follow up with David about the partnership -- say we'd love to move forward"*

Actions queue up so they are waiting when you open Slashy on your laptop.

<Tip>Your briefing is interactive. Do not just read it -- reply to it. The agent processes your responses immediately, so you can triage your morning inbox from bed.</Tip>
