FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q  I have not received The Spud Daily. What should I do?

A  Check the team Slack or Teams channel configured during onboarding — it delivers to a channel, not a personal DM. If it is missing, give your feedback to @spud: Always say “@spud I want to give you feedback.

---

Q  Can The Spud Daily be personalised per individual?

A  No. It is tailored by department, not by individual. For personal-level inspiration at your own cadence, use the Inspiration Message task.

---

Q  Does receiving it mean I do not need to check my team tasks?

A  No. The Spud Daily is a highlights overview. Your team-specific tasks contain significantly more depth. Use it as a morning orientation, then go deeper in the feeds most relevant to your work.
