How to Understand Your Team's Daily Standup Summary in Google Chat
Standupify's automated daily standup summaries provide a concise overview of your team's progress directly in Google Chat. Understanding how these summaries are generated and what information they present helps you quickly grasp team activities and identify key updates.
How Standupify Creates Your Daily Summary
Standupify follows a simple workflow to compile and deliver your team's daily standup summary:
Personalized Check-in Requests: Standupify sends individual, personalized daily standup check-in requests to each team member in Google Chat. These requests prompt questions like 'What did you do yesterday?' and 'What will you do today?', often allowing for direct selection of Jira tasks or manual input.
Response Collection: As team members complete their asynchronous standup check-ins, Standupify collects and compiles their individual responses.
Automated Summary Generation: Upon completion by team members, Standupify automatically aggregates these individual responses into a consolidated 'Daily Report' summary card. This card is titled with the check-in name (e.g., 'Daily Report') and the report date (e.g., 'Report for Jul 9, 2025').
Summary Publication: The generated summary card is then published to a designated shared Google Chat Space (e.g., 'Marketing Daily Report') or sent as a direct message to relevant stakeholders. This provides an instant, comprehensive overview of the team's updates.
Interpreting the Daily Report Summary Card
The summary card is designed for quick readability, offering several key insights:

Overall Response Statistics
At the top of the card, you'll see statistics like '3/6 responses received' or '1/2 users answered.' This provides an immediate understanding of overall team participation and how many members have submitted their updates for the day.
Individual Team Member Responses
For each team member who has responded (e.g., 'Jane Doe'), the summary card clearly lists their updates to the standup questions. You'll see:
'What did you do yesterday?': Bulleted tasks completed (e.g., 'Write 4 posts for corporate blog', 'Comments on Reddit'). These tasks may be clickable if linked to Jira issues.
'What will you do today?': Bulleted tasks planned (e.g., 'Generate post covers using AI'), also potentially clickable.
This section allows for a quick review of individual contributions and plans.
Users Without Responses and Message Status
Standupify makes it easy to identify 'Users without responses.' This section lists team members who have not yet submitted their daily update. Crucially, it also indicates the status of their standup request message:
'Delivered': The standup request message was successfully sent to the user.
'Seen': The user has viewed the standup request message but has not yet responded.
For example, if 'Oleg Cherevatyy' is listed with a 'Delivered' status, it means he received the request but has not yet opened or responded to it. This helps in understanding potential reasons for non-response and follow-up actions.
Frequently asked questions
How can I see who has responded to the standup?
The summary card displays overall response statistics and individual sections for each team member who has submitted their standup, showing their updates.
What do 'Delivered' and 'Seen' statuses mean in the summary?
'Delivered' means the standup request was sent to the user. 'Seen' means the user viewed the request but has not yet responded. Both are shown for non-responding users.
Can I see specific Jira tasks in the summary?
Yes, if team members link their standup responses to Jira, the summary card will list specific Jira tasks for 'What did you do yesterday?' and 'What will you do today?'.
Where is the daily summary published?
The daily summary card is published to a designated shared Google Chat Space or sent as a direct message, as configured for your team's standup.
How often are these summaries generated?
Summaries are generated automatically after team members complete their daily standup check-ins, typically at a scheduled time each day.
