Start the day with what needs you
A schedule that reads your mail and calendar at seven on weekdays and posts what needs you today, in Slack or on the schedule's page.
Every weekday at seven you get a short readout of today: the meetings and which have no agenda, the mails that need an answer from you, and the one thing waiting on you.
What you need
- The tools to read: your calendar and mail through Microsoft 365, or your mail through the Mailbox card, plus anything else on the Integrations page.
- Where it lands: a direct message from June in Slack, your newest own chat, a notification on your devices, or the schedule's own page.
Set it up
This uses a schedule from the form, where you choose what the run reads (why); you can also ask June in a chat to set it up with the integrations toolset on. Follow the form steps with:
- Expression:
0 7 * * 1-5, and your zone in Timezone - Enabled toolsets:
integrations, orintegrations, webto also search the web - Delivery:
slack,web,pushorlocal - Execution body: the whole readout, such as:
Read my Outlook calendar for today and my unread mail since 18:00 yesterday. In at most ten lines: today's meetings and which have no agenda, the mails that need an answer from me today, and the one thing waiting on me. Leave out newsletters and notifications
A failed run shows as needing attention on Schedules; the reason is under Open history.
If you would rather ask in chat, ask for a weekday reminder and reply "go" when it comes; June reads your mail and calendar then.
Every weekday at 7:00 Berlin time, remind me to go through today's meetings and the mail that needs me
What June does not do
- It never sends mail, and drafts only when the instruction asks for drafts.
- It cannot create calendar events or send Teams messages, from a schedule or from a chat (why).
- It does not pause a schedule that keeps failing; pause or delete it on the Schedules page.
Unstick pull requests waiting on review
Once a week, June lists the pull requests in your GitHub repositories that wait on a review, from your own chats or from a schedule you set up with the form.
Decide by Friday
Name the decision you keep postponing. June writes a first draft of the answer now, and a reminder brings the thread back on the day you set.
