Daily Digest Email

What the Digest Is

Every morning, Buyer24 sends you a single email summarizing the state of your procurement work — so you stay in the loop without logging in. Think of it as a chief of staff who briefs you over coffee:

• RFQs awaiting your decision — quotes in but no supplier picked, drafts ready to send, approvals waiting
• New supplier replies since your last digest
• Approaching deadlines in the next few days
• What happened overnight — background work the AI completed for you
• Housekeeping — stale RFQs that have sat inactive for a month or more, worth closing or pinging one last time

The digest arrives once a day in the morning (Pacific time), sent from Buyer24's standard address.

Two Variants: Manager and Buyer

The digest adapts to your role in the organization:

• Managers and admins get a team-wide view — decisions pending, approvals, bottlenecks across the team, and account health.
• Individual buyers get a personal view — your RFQs, your supplier replies, your deadlines, and a short "what to work on today."

Everyone in your organization who has the digest enabled receives the variant matching their role. See Manager Guide for more on team oversight.

Quiet Days

When there's genuinely nothing urgent, the digest doesn't manufacture urgency:

• On a quiet day you get a short progress recap instead — what the AI handled for you over the past week — plus a gentle list of non-urgent items waiting on you (drafts ready to send, cleanup candidates).
• If there's truly nothing at all, you get a one-line "all quiet — nothing needs your attention today."

Replying to the Digest

Here's the powerful part: you can reply to the digest in plain English, and your instructions are carried out. For example:

• "Send a reminder to Acme on the bracket RFQ"
• "Archive the first two"
• "Clean up the stale RFQs — ping the suppliers one last time"
• "Draft a follow-up asking Supplier B about lead time"

What happens when you reply:

1. Buyer24 verifies the reply genuinely came from your email address.
2. Your instruction is queued as a task for your AI assistant.
3. You get a confirmation email echoing what was queued, with a link to the task in the app.
4. The task runs in the next automated cycle — or click through and run it immediately yourself.
5. Want to refine it? Just reply to the confirmation email with more detail.

Note: Replies only work from the email address the digest was sent to. If you forward your digest to a colleague, their reply won't be accepted — that's a security feature, not a bug. Each person should enable their own digest instead.

Turning It On or Off

The digest is a per-user preference:

• New accounts have it enabled by default.
• You can switch it on or off in your notification settings — see Alerts & Notifications and Your Profile.
• Turning it off for yourself doesn't affect anyone else in your organization.

If your organization's subscription has lapsed, the digest switches to a brief note telling you how many items need attention, with a prompt to reactivate for the full detail.

FAQ

Can I change the delivery time?

The digest currently goes out at a fixed morning time (Pacific). Per-user delivery times aren't configurable yet.

Does replying cost anything?

Replying queues a task for your assistant. Tasks queued this way run in the automated nightly cycle, included in your subscription — same rules as queuing a task in chat. See Your AI Assistant.

I replied but nothing happened.

Check that you replied from the same address the digest was delivered to, and look for the confirmation email (including spam). If the digest is more than a few weeks old, the reply link may have expired — wait for the next morning's digest and reply to that one.

How is this different from alerts?

Alerts notify you about individual events as they happen. The digest is the once-a-day rollup of everything, with the reply-to-delegate superpower. Many users keep both — see Alerts & Notifications.
