Short answer

Email digests are periodic reports sent to your inbox summarizing your workspace traffic. You can choose between weekly, monthly, or no digest at all from your Workspace Settings.

What is an email digest

An email digest is an automated summary of your workspace activity over a set period. Instead of logging into the dashboard to check performance, the digest brings the key numbers to you.

Each digest email includes:

Data point Description
Total visits Number of visits during the period, with percentage change vs. previous period
Top country The country that generated the most traffic
Cities reached How many distinct cities your visitors came from, with change over time
Daily visits chart A visual breakdown of visits per day across the period
Top performing link The link that received the most visits, with its count

The email also includes a direct link to your analytics dashboard for a deeper look at the data.

How to configure your digest frequency

  1. Go to Workspace Settings
  2. Scroll to the Email digest section
  3. Select your preferred frequency:
    • None — disables digest emails entirely
    • Weekly — delivered every Monday, covering the previous 7 days
    • Monthly — delivered on the 1st of each month, covering the previous month
  4. Save your settings

The change takes effect immediately. Your next digest will follow the schedule you selected.

When digests are sent

Weekly digests are sent every Monday morning and cover Monday through Sunday of the previous week. Monthly digests are sent on the 1st of each month and cover the entire previous calendar month.

This means if you switch to weekly on a Wednesday, your first digest will arrive the following Monday with the previous full week of data.

Who receives the digest

The digest is tied to the workspace. The workspace owner and admins receive the email based on the configured frequency. The setting applies at the workspace level, not per individual user.

Use cases

Active campaign monitoring

If you're running time-sensitive campaigns with QR codes or branded links, a weekly digest helps you catch performance changes quickly. A sudden drop in scans or visits shows up in the next Monday email.

Long-term tracking

For teams that manage campaigns over weeks or months, the monthly digest provides a high-level view without the noise. You see trends over time — whether traffic is growing, which links consistently perform, and how your geographic reach evolves.

Staying informed without dashboard access

Team members who don't log into the dashboard regularly can still stay informed through digest emails. This is particularly useful for managers or stakeholders who want visibility into campaign performance without navigating the platform daily.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I receive both weekly and monthly digests?

No. The setting is a single choice per workspace. You can select weekly, monthly, or none. If you want both levels of detail, the weekly digest gives you more granular data while you can review monthly trends directly in the dashboard.

What happens if I have no traffic during a period?

You will still receive the digest email. It will show zero visits and no top performing link, which can be useful as a reminder to check your campaign setup or distribution.

Can I change the digest day or time?

Not currently. Weekly digests go out on Mondays and monthly digests on the 1st. The schedule is fixed for all workspaces.

How do I stop receiving digests?

Go to Workspace Settings, set the email digest to None, and save. You will stop receiving digest emails immediately.

Yes. The digest summarizes traffic across all links and QR codes in your workspace. The top performing link is selected from all active links based on visit count during the period.

Limits and caveats

  • Feature availability and limits can vary by plan and workspace setup.
  • Results depend on correct implementation, attribution setup, and data quality controls.
  • Regulatory and privacy obligations vary by jurisdiction and use case.
