Daily update is a term used to describe a report or summary of progress, changes, or events that happen on a regular basis. In your Action, you can enable users to subscribe to daily updates by configuring one of your Action’s intents as a daily update. When users invoke the intent, they’ll be able to follow a registration prompt—which you can display mid-conversation or as a suggestion chip when they exit your Action—and then register their device with Assistant to receive updates at their scheduled time each day.
Providing a daily update is especially helpful for people who use public calendars that are shared online and may not check them on a regular basis. It’s an easy way to stay informed and make planning easier without needing to open a website or social media to see what’s coming up on their calendar.
If you want to provide daily updates for your Action, keep in mind the best practices for creating useful notifications. Be sure to show the value of your Action and how it would benefit a user’s life before offering them the option to register for daily updates. Also, it’s a good idea to avoid repeated suggestions to subscribe, as they can become annoying for users.
