Daily update means something that gets updated on a daily basis, such as a status report or an activity checklist. It can also be a term for the content you publish to your users through an app or service, like GitHub’s daily status updates or Twitter’s daily activity updates.
Actions with daily updates are a type of notification that can be sent to users on their devices as part of a conversation with your Action. When a user taps on a daily update notification, they invoke one of the intents you’ve configured as a daily update in your Action and interact with it at a scheduled time each day. You can enable daily updates for your Action in the Actions console by clicking Develop in the top menu and then selecting Intents in the left menu. You can then add a daily updates subscription flow to your Action’s user intent handling by adding a new intent and adding the Daily updates system scene to its transitions.
When prompting your users to subscribe to daily updates, make sure your Action provides enough value every day so that the daily notifications are worth their while. Especially for the first time users, it’s best to only offer a registration prompt right after showing what they’d get from subscribing to your daily updates and not repeatedly ask them to register.
