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.
Set a weekday schedule to 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, from the sources you name.
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:
Use Europe/Berlin for today and yesterday. 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 want to start each check yourself, 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
Try it before tomorrow
Choose Run now on the schedule's page. Read the result under Open history, then check the delivery destination. Confirm that the readout used the right mailbox and calendar and that its dates match your time zone.
If it is too broad, shorten the instruction: name the account, the period to read, and the number of items to return. If the run fails, its history explains why; Troubleshooting covers connection and usage problems.
You are done when one manual run gives you the short list you wanted and the next run is scheduled for the right morning.
What June does not do
- The readout instruction asks for a summary, not mail drafts or changes. Keep it that way if you want the schedule to read only.
- A scheduled run cannot complete an integration change that needs confirmation. Ask for the proposed action in its readout and handle it in 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.
