# Work Digest

Get a daily summary of actions needed for work in progress

Get a daily summary of your team's work and what needs attention – including how much work was completed since the last update, how much work is being done out-of-hours, and what pull requests are awaiting action.

{% hint style="success" %}
We recommend scheduling these to arrive at the start of stand-up, so you can discuss as needed as a team.&#x20;
{% endhint %}

Here's an example:

<figure><img src="https://3759751588-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F1eOL1LoKX0USQQUCSepS%2Fuploads%2FTSc3Wj0UsQtl525Wg5yO%2F%F0%9F%9F%A2%20Work%20digest%202x.png?alt=media&amp;token=ecd68ff7-8358-4552-b8be-18449c4afcf2" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### 1st section: Since the last summary...

* **Work completed:** The number of PRs merged since the last scheduled digest.
* **Wellbeing:** The number out-of-hours commits your team did since the last scheduled digest.

These values are filtered to just the people on the selected team, since the last digest was sent.

### 2nd section: PRs that need review

Header: **"\[X] PRs need your review."** These are PRs where a review request has been sent to someone on your team and/or to your GitHub team (depending on your configuration).&#x20;

Each PR shown includes: title, PR author, how long it's been waiting for a review – with a ⏰ if it's been waiting for more than 8 hours – and what the last action was, if there's been an action since moving to review requested (e.g., who last commented).

Note that Slack automatically truncates the list if it gets long; you can click "+N more" to see the rest.

### 3rd section: PRs by your team awaiting review

Header: **"\[X] PRs by your team are awaiting review."** These are open PRs authored by people on your team that don't yet have any reviews.

The section above shows review requests that have come to the team, so it will include PRs authored by people outside of your team.

In contrast, this section only shows open PRs authored by people in your team – so it gives you a view of where the team's work is.&#x20;

The PR information shown is the same as for the section above.&#x20;

### 4th section: PRs with changes requested

Header: **"\[X] PRs had changes requested."** These PRs have had a review asking for changes, so they're now waiting on the author to address the feedback.

The PR information is the same as in the "PRs that need review" section, with the note that the time waiting is the time since the PR had changes requested.&#x20;

### 5th section: PRs approved

Header: **"\[X] PRs have been approved."** These are ready to merge.

The PR information is the same as in the "PRs awaiting review" section, with the note that the time waiting is the time since the PR was approved.&#x20;

{% hint style="info" %}
The list excludes:

* PRs that haven’t been updated in more than 7 days, to avoid surfacing stale PRs day after day
* Draft PRs
* PRs with the string \[do not merge] in the PR title (case insensitive)
  {% endhint %}

## How to set it up in Slack

**Shortcut to the Work Digest configuration from the** [**My Insights page**](https://app.multitudes.co/)**:**&#x20;

Scroll down to "Pull requests in progress" at the bottom of the page (see screenshot). If you click the bell, it will show a tooltip; if you click that, it will take you to the relevant part of the Settings page. If the bell is empty, it means this notification is not configured. If the bell is filled-in, the notification is active – and the tooltip will show you how it's configured.

**To configure:**

1. Go to [**Settings > Notifications > Team**](https://app.multitudes.co/team-settings/notifications?section=team).
   1. If you see a button with "Connect your Slack organization", then you'll need to get a Slack admin to install Slack with the instructions here: [**Integrations > Slack**](https://docs.multitudes.com/integrations/slack)
   2. If you see a table with team names (like the below), then that means Slack is installed for your organization and you can proceed.

2. You will now see all your teams.&#x20;
   1. Click on the Edit icon on the right for the team that you want to receive notifications for.
   2. Under **Work digest**, toggle **Send via Slack** to **ON.**
   3. Search for and select the Slack channel where you want to receive the notifications.&#x20;
      1. If you want to send Slack notifications to a private channel, you'll need to first add the `Multitudes for Slack` app to that channel by typing `@multitudes` + Enter into the channel – or by clicking on the private channel's name and going to `Integrations > Add apps`.&#x20;
   4. Under "**Include**", choose what types of activity you want to get notifications for.&#x20;
      1. Note that if you have GitHub Team sync on, you can choose to be notified about review requests to "this GitHub team" and/or review requests to "any member of this team". You must select at least one of these so that we have review requests to notify you about.
      2. If you don't use GitHub team sync, then we must do review requests based on whether any member of the team is asked to review – otherwise, we wouldn't have any review requests to notify about.&#x20;
   5. Click **Save**.
