How to use the one-click digest buttons

Under the composer sit seven ready-made questions. One click asks a carefully written version of a question you would otherwise type badly, which is why they are worth using even once you are fluent. See What is the analyst? for the analyst itself.

What are the seven?

Two are shown larger because they are the daily pair.

• Yesterday's numbers: revenue, orders and average order value against the same day last week, calling out anything that moved more than 20%.
• Where are we weak: this week's sales broken down, then where you are underperforming and what to do about it, ranked by the size of the opportunity.

Then five more:

• This week vs last: this week so far against the same stretch last week, with what is driving the difference at product level.
• Running low: products by days of cover, lowest first, flagging strong sellers.
• Dead stock: what has not sold in 60 days, and how much cash is tied up in it.
• Stuck orders: what is in the fulfilment backlog, how old the oldest is, and whether anything is blocked on stock.
• Email & SMS check: how your Klaviyo flows and segments are performing, and which is slipping.

Why use a button instead of typing?

Because the prompt behind each one is sharper than what most people type.

Yesterday's numbers does not just ask for yesterday. It asks for the comparison against the same weekday last week, which is the only fair comparison, and sets a threshold for what counts as worth mentioning.

Where are we weak asks for a ranking by opportunity size rather than a list. That single instruction is the difference between a paragraph and a plan for the morning.

Does a digest join my current conversation?

No. Clicking one always starts a new conversation.

That is deliberate: a prepared question appended to an unrelated thread would inherit context that has nothing to do with it, and the answer would quietly drift.

Follow-ups after a digest work normally, so you can click Running low and then ask "which of those are from Portside Mills" in the same thread.

Which ones are worth a daily habit?

Yesterday's numbers first thing, and Stuck orders if you ship a lot. Those two take under a minute together and catch most of what goes wrong overnight.

Running low and Dead stock are weekly rather than daily. Both are also full screens with more control, at How to find out what you need to reorder and How to find items running out, oversold, or not selling, and the buttons are the quick version.

Where are we weak is the one to run before a trading meeting rather than during it.

Why is a button missing?

Because the part of Tideswell it reads is switched off for your workspace, so the button is removed rather than left there to fail.

Running low and Dead stock belong to stock. Email & SMS check belongs to customers. The rest belong to the store.

If every button is unavailable and the composer carries a message, the analyst itself is switched off workspace-wide.

Can you make your own?

Yes. Save a question you ask often and it appears in the same menu as these, alongside anything your colleagues have shared. See How to save and reuse a prompt.
