What's Happening
The What's Happening module is a unified operational digest for your organization.
What You Can Do
- Switch between daily and weekly digest timeframes.
- Review summarized sections such as action items, reminders, themes, and blockers.
- Search digest content and browse generated results.
- Refresh digest generation and monitor summary status.
- Configure digest email preferences (schedule, weekday/time, timezone-aware delivery).
Sources Considered
What's Happening currently builds digests from these organization/user data sources:
- Google Chat spaces: Messages from spaces the user can access in the selected digest window.
- Gmail: Recent email threads/messages in the selected digest window.
- Google Calendar / Meetings: Calendar events and meeting metadata (title, time, attendees, notes/description where available).
These source sections feed:
- Section summaries (Chat Spaces, Email Threads, Meetings)
- Extracted action items, reminders, wins, recurring themes, and blockers
Current per-window limits
- Up to 25 chat spaces
- Up to 120 messages per space
- Up to 50 email threads
- Up to 30 meetings/events
If a source has no activity in the selected window (or required access is unavailable), that source section may be omitted from the digest.
Core Behaviors
- Digest data is rendered as structured cards and summary sections for quick scanning.
- Search is debounced for smoother filtering.
- Email summary preferences can be toggled and updated from the same page.
- Some advanced capability paths are plan-gated and can show upgrade prompts.
Typical Workflow
- Open What's Happening from the sidebar.
- Pick timeframe (Daily or Weekly).
- Scan blockers and action items first.
- Search for a topic/person/project to narrow context.
- Set or update email summary schedule so teammates receive regular digests.
