You sign up, and the daily emails start.

What it shows

The first emails from a new tool should be chosen. Not automatic.

Many tools send reports from day one. An empty report is noise.

This trains you to ignore their emails. When something is important, you miss it.

So we changed how our own briefings work. An account should be quiet by default.

But what if you want the emails? You turn them on with one switch.

Adamiro's scheduled Signals and Radar briefings are now off for new accounts. You start them when ready.
