Example Playbook: Daily Standup Digest #

Here’s how you might automate a daily team update:

# Daily Standup Digest
Gather yesterday's accomplishments and today's priorities from various sources and share with the team.

## Steps

- Collect updates from multiple sources:
   - Check Linear for tickets completed yesterday
   - Review GitHub for merged pull requests
   - Look at calendar for today's important meetings
   - Scan project management tools for blockers

- Compile a daily digest including:
   - **Yesterday's Wins:** Major completions and achievements
   - **Today's Focus:** Key priorities and deadlines
   - **Blockers:** Any issues that need team attention
   - **Meetings:** Important calls or demos scheduled

- Format the message for Slack:
  :sun_with_face: Good morning team! Here's your daily digest for [date]

  **Yesterday's Wins:**
  • [accomplishment 1]
  • [accomplishment 2]

  **Today's Focus:**
  • [priority 1]
  • [priority 2]

  **Heads Up:**
  • [meeting/deadline info]

  **Need Help?**
  • [any blockers or questions]

- Post the digest to #daily-standup channel

- If any critical blockers are found, send a separate message to team leads

## Trigger

- Run weekdays at 9am
