## Start Your Day with a Snapshot

The daily summary email is sent every morning at 8:00 AM in your store's timezone. It recaps yesterday's activity so you know exactly where things stand without opening the dashboard.

## What Is Included

A typical daily summary contains:

### Yesterday's Activity
- Total orders placed
- Daily capacity used (for example, 48/50 = 96%)
- Weekly capacity used
- Monthly capacity used

### Top Products
A ranked list of your most-ordered products from the previous day.

### Trends
- Comparison versus the same day last week (for example, "8% increase")
- Busiest hour of the day

### Today's Status
- Order counter reset to 0
- All limits active
- Store opening time

### What the summary covers

| Section | Contents |
|---|---|
| Yesterday's activity | Total orders, plus daily, weekly and monthly capacity used |
| Top products | Your most-ordered products from the previous day |
| Trends | Change versus the same day last week, and the busiest hour |
| Today's status | Counter reset to zero, limits active, opening time |

It arrives at 8:00 AM in your store's timezone, so the numbers are yesterday's close of play.

## How to Enable

1. Go to **Settings** from the dashboard
2. Scroll to **Notification Settings**
3. Make sure your **email address** is entered
4. Toggle **Enable daily summary** to ON
5. Click **Save**

The summary is sent to the same email address (or addresses) configured for capacity alerts.

## When It Arrives

The email is sent at **8:00 AM** in your store's configured timezone, every day. It covers the previous day's data.

If you do not see it:
- Check your spam or junk folder
- Verify the email address in Settings
- Make sure the daily summary toggle is turned on
- Wait until after 8:00 AM in your timezone

## Disabling the Summary

If you prefer not to receive it, toggle **Enable daily summary** to OFF in Settings and save.

## Tips

- Use the daily summary to spot trends without logging into the dashboard every day
- If you consistently see 95%+ capacity, it might be time to increase your limits
- Share the summary with your team by adding multiple email addresses separated by commas
