Start the day with the customer work that needs attention

What you’ll produce

A dated priority list with source links, missing context and optional reply drafts.

Inputs & connections

• Approved inbox, calendar and job-tracker sources
• Business hours, priority rules and escalation preferences

Connect the specific supported email, calendar and tracker tools needed. A schedule is active only after it has been saved and confirmed.

Replace the bracketed fields. This is our suggested prompt, not a quote from the source.

Review [approved sources] for today's customer work in [time zone]. Return no more than five items needing attention: appointments to prepare for, customer replies, deadlines at risk and decisions waiting on me. Check latest replies so resolved work is not repeated. Link each item to evidence and name unavailable sources. Draft replies where helpful, but ask for approval before sending, changing appointments or updating jobs. Propose a recurring schedule only after this first brief is reviewed.

How to run it

1. 01

   Choose the exact sources and define which issues deserve attention.

2. 02

   Prepare one briefing using a bounded date range.

3. 03

   Review missing sources, duplicate items and priority judgments.

4. 04

   Approve a schedule and notification rules after the trial brief is useful.

Limitations & success checks

• Disconnected tools and private threads can leave gaps in the briefing.
• A reminder does not complete the underlying task or guarantee a deadline will be met.

Measure: Relevant items surfaced, resolved items wrongly repeated and missed commitments found in review.
