What's in the brief
The parts of the morning brief, in the order they appear, and how to add sections of your own.
The brief leads with what’s most likely to cost you if it waits.
What needs you
Emails where someone is waiting on a reply or a decision from you, most important first: who it’s from, what they need, and how long they’ve waited. Newsletters, receipts and automated mail stay out.
Your day
The meetings ahead, with times. If your next meeting needs prep, ask alfred_ to prepare you.
Tasks due
Tasks due today, and anything overdue.
Waiting on others and resolved (email version)
By email, the brief is a fuller inbox triage. It also lists the threads where you’re waiting on someone else, and the ones that quietly resolved since yesterday.
Weather and local news
If you set a location under Settings → Preferences, the brief can include the weather and local news. Clear the location and alfred_ works it out from your phone and time zone.
Your own sections
Add sections of your own on Routines → Morning brief, in a sentence. For example: “a line on any client I haven’t emailed in two weeks”.
