Digests are opt-in
Every notification category is set to immediate unless someone opts that category into a digest. There is no digest turned on for you, and none turned on for your workspace, unless it was deliberately chosen.This is deliberate. A digest that arrives by default sends people a summary of
things they were already emailed about an hour ago. Opt-in means a digest only
ever replaces individual messages, never duplicates them.
The end-of-day rollup you can control
This is the per-person rollup most teams actually want, and it is a reminder, not a digest.
It is per person. Sarah Lin’s day ends at 15:00 so hers lands about 12:00.
Jonas Bergman’s ends at 18:00 so his lands about 15:00. Same setting, different
clock, because it follows each person’s own schedule.
How a digest works when one is on
If a category is set to a digest rather than immediate, notifications in that category stop arriving one by one and are collected instead.
The summary is titled Your daily summary or Your weekly summary, and the
body is a count – “7 updates while you were away.”
What goes into it:
Empty summaries are never sent
If nothing happened in the window, or you had already read everything, no summary is produced. You will never get a digest that says “0 updates”.No quiet hours
TimeTracker has no quiet hours setting. A notification is not held back because of the time of day. If a category is too noisy outside work, the options are:
Daily reminders already respect your working days and your approved leave, so
they never arrive on a day off.
Example
Priya Raman manages delivery at Northwind Studio and wants one summary at the end of her day rather than a running commentary.1
Turn email off for the chatty categories
On her profile’s Notifications tab she switches email off for
Scope changes and Assignments, keeping in-app on for both.
2
Keep approvals immediate
Timesheets and Time off stay on both channels. A stuck approval costs
her team the week.
3
Set the end-of-day rollup
Under Your daily reminders she sets Before your day ends to
2 hours before the day ends.

What happens next
Turning email off for a category does not stop the notification. It still lands in your Inbox, where you can read it in one pass rather than one interruption at a time.Common questions
Can I get one email a day instead of many?
Can I get one email a day instead of many?
The closest thing available today is the end-of-day reminder, which collects
everything due and everything overdue into one message. Combine it with
switching email off for the chattier categories and you get close to a daily
digest.
Why did I not get a digest?
Why did I not get a digest?
Because notifications arrive immediately unless a digest was deliberately
turned on. Nothing is digested by default.
Can I pause notifications at night?
Can I pause notifications at night?
There is no quiet hours setting. Turn email off for the noisy categories and
keep in-app on, or use your own mail client’s rules.
Will a digest include my security alerts?
Will a digest include my security alerts?
No. Security and account notifications are never digested and always arrive
straight away.
Do daily reminders get rolled into a summary?
Do daily reminders get rolled into a summary?
Never. A reminder is scheduled to a moment you chose, so holding it back or
bundling it would deliver something other than what you asked for.
Will I be emailed twice – once individually and once in a summary?
Will I be emailed twice – once individually and once in a summary?
No. A summary only counts notifications you have not read, and never counts
the same one twice.
Troubleshooting
I get too many emails. Turn email off for the categories you can read later and keep in-app on. Approvals and mentions are usually the two worth keeping. My end-of-day rollup never arrives. It is silent when nothing is due and nothing is overdue. Check the switch is on for both you and the workspace, and that today is a working day on your schedule. It arrives at an odd hour. It fires relative to when your working day ends, not at a fixed clock time. See Reminders.Related guides
