Summary

The Daily Email Digest is your simple, time-saving way to stay on top of what’s happening in Orah. Instead of jumping into the platform multiple times a day, you’ll receive one tidy email summarising the latest activity feed posts and behaviour/pastoral notes. It’s a quick read that helps you stay informed and ready to act—whether you’re at your desk or catching up on the go.

🧭 Navigate : Activity Feed > Email Digest Settings (top right) > New Email Digest

Access to Email Digest Settings

Only staff members with the Digest Settings permission can create, edit, or manage email digests. These settings are available on the desktop version of Orah and can’t be set up in the iOS app. If you can’t see the option, your permissions may need to be updated by an administrator. (or in bulk using Roles)

Setting up the Daily Digest

  1. Go to Activity Feed
    On the desktop version of Orah, open Activity Feed and click Email Digest Settings in the top-right corner.

  2. Create a New Digest
    Click New Email Digest and give it a clear, memorable name.

  3. Choose Your Content

    • All Activity Feed posts

    • Behaviour/Pastoral notes (you can filter by category)

  4. Set Delivery Preferences
    Pick Daily or Weekly, then choose the exact time you’d like it sent.

    The digest includes updates from 12:00 AM until your chosen time.

  5. Add Recipients
    Include yourself and, if their permissions allow, other staff members.

  6. Preview the Digest
    Use Send Test to check the format and content before saving.

  7. Manage Multiple Digests
    You can create several digests for different purposes and toggle them on or off at any time.

Once the toggle is enabled, you (and other recipients if any) will start receiving the email digest at the time specified. The email will provide a quick summary of each post and pastoral that you have access to, created during the previous day. Read more below.

💡 Tip: Schedule your digest for a time when you’re likely to have a few quiet minutes—like just after your morning coffee—so you can read it without interruptions.

Receiving Email & Business Rules

  • The digest name will be used in the email subject line for easy identification
