Questions, answered
Does it contact clients or subs about the flagged items?
No. The digest is an internal Slack post for your team only. Any client or subcontractor communications remain entirely in your hands.
How many jobs can it cover in one digest?
It scans every job marked active in Buildertrend, regardless of count, and produces one consolidated digest post each morning.
What counts as flagged for urgent attention?
Jobs where a scheduled phase is overdue, a change order has gone unsigned for more than 48 hours, or a client selection has been pending longer than your configured threshold.
