FoxPlug Help / Your brief

Brief by email

Brief by email sends you the same brief you see in FoxPlug: one thing to fix, one to say, one to skip, and the numbers that moved, each with where it came from. It is off by default. You choose to turn it on.

Where to find it: Settings, the Account tab, in the card called Brief by email. Also a line under your brief on the dashboard. Open it in FoxPlug

Steps

1. In FoxPlug, press Settings, open the Account tab and find the card Brief by email. It shows once you have a brief.
2. Press Email me weekly. The card then says "On: every Monday." and the email arrives Monday morning at 8, your time.
3. If your plan allows daily, press Email me daily instead. The card then says "On: every morning." Use Switch to weekly to go back.
4. To switch it on faster, look under your brief on the dashboard for "Want this brief in your inbox on Monday mornings?" and press Email me my brief.
5. To stop, press Turn it off in the card, or press the unsubscribe link at the bottom of any brief email. The unsubscribe page is https://foxplug.com/brief/unsubscribe and asks you to confirm with one press.

Good to know

• Weekly is available to everyone. Daily is on the Pro and Serial plans.
• A free account gets one brief email. After that, updates are on paid plans. See https://foxplug.com/pricing.
• A week with nothing in the brief sends nothing.
• If a connected tool has stopped working, the email says so in a short line with when it last failed.
• The email does not include the evidence lines from your brief, because those can hold customer names and addresses.

What it does not do

• It never turns on by itself. No opt-in, no email.
• It is read-only: it never posts or sends anything for you, and it never carries a post draft's words.
• Opening the unsubscribe link in a mail program does not unsubscribe you. Only pressing the confirm button on that page does.
