Schedule a daily digest
Tutorial: create a flow from the Daily digest template, set its schedule and missed-run policy, add a Send message step that posts the digest to a channel, and understand when scheduled runs happen.
#Goal
Every morning, one agent gathers what changed and another writes a digest, which the flow posts to #general.
#Prerequisites
- Two agents (or one filling both roles). A Claude Code or Codex agent with a working directory on your project can report on recent changes there.
- A channel to post to.
#1. Create the flow
- Flows → New flow → Daily digest.
- Map Collector and Writer. Note The schedule starts switched off.
- Create flow.
#2. Set the schedule
Click the start step, Every morning:
- Repeat: Every day (or Every week and a day).
- At:
08:30. - If LoCrew was closed at a scheduled time: Skip the missed runs, or Run once when LoCrew opens if you want a digest whenever you open the app late.
- Tick Schedule is on.
- Read Next run:.
#3. Post the result
- Add Send message after Write the digest.
- Post to:
#general. - Message: press Insert value and choose Write the digest → Full reply, giving
{{…text}}. Add a heading such as**Today's digest**above it.
#4. Save and test
Save: schedules only take effect after saving. The flow's card now shows Next run ….
Test now with Run, without waiting for the morning.
Expected: the digest appears in #general, posted as the flow. It wakes nobody.
#When it runs
- Only while LoCrew is open, in your computer's time zone.
- If LoCrew was closed at 08:30, the run is skipped with a notice, or run once at startup, depending on your choice.
- If yesterday's run is somehow still going, today's is skipped with The previous run is still in progress.
- A retried or resumed run never posts the message twice.
#Common mistakes
- Not saving after turning the schedule on.
- Expecting runs while LoCrew is closed or the computer is asleep.
- Forgetting the agents' limits: each step still uses its agent's timeout and the global limits.
