Daily update is a feature that can be configured to send a notification each day at a pre-scheduled time. This allows your Action to continue providing value even if the user doesn’t invoke it again. It’s important to note that daily updates only appear as notifications on users’ devices and can not be triggered by voice or spoken commands.
To configure an Action for daily updates, first open the Settings panel of your Action in the Assistant app. Click Intents and then add a new intent that’s labelled Daily updates. In the next step, select the System scene that you want to use for your daily updates subscription flow.
When you’re ready to test your action, invoke it on an Android phone logged in with the same Google account you used to build the Action and tap the update button. Check your device’s Assistant notifications around the scheduled time of each daily update to see how the feature works.
Before prompting users to register for daily updates, make sure your Action provides enough value that subscribing to it is worth their while. Be sure to show the registration prompt right after you’ve demonstrated what your Action can do for them, and avoid repeating the offer in other contexts.
