Daily update is a notification that gives users the option to receive updates on their device at a scheduled time. This is available on devices running Android and iOS, as well as voice-activated speakers and smart displays that support the Assistant app. When a user invokes an intent you’ve configured as daily update, they can follow a registration prompt—which you can display mid-conversation or as a suggestion chip when the conversation is over—to register their device with Assistant and begin receiving notifications at their schedule each day.
To enable daily updates for an intent, open the Actions console and select Develop in the top menu. Click Intents in the left menu to expand the section, then click + to create an intent that matches the description of your daily update. Add this intent to a system scene, then set the Daily updates subscription flow as the default transition for the scene. To test the daily update functionality of your Action, launch it on a Google Assistant-enabled mobile device and use it to invoke the intent you’ve configured as daily updates. Check your device’s notifications around the intended update time to confirm that your Action is providing daily updates as expected.
