Why this matters

A weekly digest replaces five dashboards with one message people actually read.

The 30-minute experiment

1. 1List three data sources you check weekly (Stripe, Google Analytics, a spreadsheet, and so on)
2. 2In Make or Zapier, create a new automation
3. 3Set the trigger to 'On a schedule' and pick Monday 9 AM
4. 4Add steps to pull data from each source (Zapier and Make have pre-built connectors)
5. 5Add a step to send a Slack message with the summary
6. 6Write the summary template: 'This week: [numbers]. Biggest change: [what moved]. Next watch: [what to keep an eye on].'
7. 7Run it, check the Slack message, edit the template if anything's confusing
8. 8Let it run for two weeks and see if people actually read it

Summarise this week's numbers in 100 words or less. Lead with what changed, not what stayed the same.

• Three data sources connected
• Schedule set to Monday 9 AM
• Draft message sent to Slack
• You reviewed and edited the template once
• Two weeks of digests actually posted
