Morning Report¶
One message, every morning, at your hour, in your timezone: what DXDT did while your team slept — and exactly one decision to make. Every report is titled with your organization's name — in the email subject, the Slack header, and the body — so a team watching several organizations always knows which one it's reading about.
What's in it¶
- Overnight checks — how many scans ran and completed.
- New findings — count and identified monthly savings, with the top items listed. Counts are per issue, not per detection: a re-scan that re-detects a known issue folds into its existing cluster and is not announced as new. What the report counts matches what the Pulse console shows.
- Incidents — opened, resolved, and still active.
- On the table — your standing open findings and total identified savings (the same grounded, resource-deduplicated total as the Pulse dashboard — the email and the console can't disagree).
- Learned this week — how much institutional memory your team added.
- One decision — the top pending recommendation, with Approve and Dismiss buttons that work directly from Slack or email. One tap, done; the decision is applied to the recommendation immediately.
If nothing happened overnight, the report says so — a quiet night is worth knowing about.
Audio brief¶
Prefer to listen? Each report can carry a Listen link — a short generated audio briefing of the same content, playable from the email or Slack message without signing in (links are signed). It's a per-user preference: turn it on under Settings → General → Morning Report. Available on the Growth plan and above.
Setup¶
Organization-wide settings — Team → Features → Morning Report (admins only):
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Daily Morning Report | on | Growth plan and above (trials included) |
| Timezone | UTC | Set this first — it's what "morning" means |
| Send hour | 08:00 | Local to your timezone |
| Slack channel | your alerts channel | Requires a connected Slack workspace |
| Email recipients | organization admins | Comma-separated list to override |
Personal settings — Settings → General → Morning Report (every user):
| Setting | Default | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Audio brief | off | Adds the Listen link to your copy of the report |
Delivery is one report per organization per day. Decision links are signed and expire after 7 days; a recommendation that was already decided shows "already decided" rather than double-applying.
Best practices¶
- Make it the standup opener. The report is designed to be read aloud in under a minute: what changed, what it costs, one decision.
- Send it to a channel, not inboxes. The one-decision button works for whoever gets there first — that's a feature. Team visibility beats individual copies.
- Actually take the decision. The single approve/dismiss is deliberately small. Teams that take it daily clear their recommendation backlog without ever scheduling a review meeting.
