How the script activity digest works

What the chiliad digest contains, how often it is sent and how to change or turn it off.

Alerts tell you about problems as they happen. The digest is the regular overview: a summary of how your scripts did over the last period, so that you can confirm everything is running without opening the dashboard.

What it covers

The digest summarises script activity for your workspace over the period — how much ran, how much succeeded, and which scripts had failures and need a look.

How often

Choose the frequency in Settings → Notifications under Digest Frequency:

Daily
Weekly — the default
Monthly
Off

Daily email and Slack digests are part of the paid plans.

Where it goes

Email — to you, according to your own notification settings. Each team member chooses their own.
Slack — to the workspace's channel, if a Slack webhook is configured.

Quiet hours

Under Quiet Hours you can set a time window during which notifications are held back, so a nightly failure does not wake anyone.

Digest or alerts?

Use both. Alerts are for scripts that fail repeatedly, stop running or behave abnormally and need action now. The digest is for the pattern over time: a script whose success rate is slowly dropping, or an account that fails occasionally.

For a script that must never fail silently, set its priority to High and make sure alerts are switched on; do not rely on spotting it in a weekly summary.
