Standupify Check-ins: Your Central Management Hub

The Check-ins section in Standupify serves as your central dashboard for overseeing and managing all team check-ins. This includes critical daily reports, day-off requests, and even retrospectives, providing a unified view of your team's asynchronous communication.

From this intuitive interface, you can quickly monitor the status and schedule of all team check-ins, significantly reducing administrative overhead. The ability to customize questions, view responses, and manage notifications for each check-in ensures that your team's communication is always tailored, efficient, and aligned with your operational needs. This streamlines daily reporting, facilitates effective asynchronous standups, and enhances overall team alignment without the need for traditional, time-consuming meetings.

Understanding the Check-ins Dashboard

Upon navigating to the 'Check-ins' tab in the Standupify web application, you'll see a comprehensive list of all configured check-ins, organized by the teams they are associated with (e.g., "[C2C] Dev/QA", "Marketing").

Each check-in is presented as a dedicated card, clearly displaying its name (e.g., "Day Off", "Daily Report", "Retrospective") and its current operational status ("Active" or "Deactivated"). For recurring check-ins like "Daily Report", the cards also indicate when the check-in "Started" (e.g., "Started Tue, 07:31 AM") and specify the "Next Run" time (e.g., "Next Run on Wed, 07:30 AM"). This provides a quick, at-a-glance overview of your team's check-in schedule and activity.

Managing Individual Check-ins

To access specific configurations and detailed options for any check-in, simply click on the "More options" icon (represented by three horizontal dots ...) located on each check-in card. This action reveals a dropdown menu with several powerful management options:

  • Dashboard: Provides a summary view of the check-in, including participation rates, response counts, and upcoming schedules for periodic check-ins.
  • Responses: Allows you to review the detailed replies submitted by team members for that particular check-in, offering insights into their progress and blockers.
  • Questions: Enables administrators to customize the questions asked in the check-in, such as the classic standup prompts ("What did you do yesterday?", "What will you do today?") and questions related to blockers.
  • Settings: Offers general configuration options for the check-in, including scheduling, participant management, and reminders.
  • Notifications: Allows you to manage how and when notifications related to the check-in are sent to team members.

This robust management capability supports Standupify's core feature of "Smart Asynchronous Standups," empowering team leads and managers to effectively oversee and customize their team's daily reporting, retrospectives, and other vital communications in an efficient asynchronous format.
