JIRAschedulingemail digestscron

Engineering manager spends 30-45 minutes every evening building the same status email — pulling JIRA, classifying tickets, formatting bullets.
Different PMs format digests differently, so leadership can't compare days week-to-week.
By the time the email lands, half the recipients are heads-down or offline. Delivery slips. Some days it doesn't go at all.
Blocked tickets and stale issues get rediscovered in standup the next morning instead of surfacing the night before.

Schedule the digest with a real cron expression — '0 18 * * 1-5' fires at 6 PM Mon-Fri. .insightworker/schedules.yaml · cron syntax

Pull active sprint tickets via JIRA REST with one tool call — no curl, no JQL hand-typing. jira_search · jql

Send to a distribution list via Microsoft Graph; archive a dated copy locally for audit. send_email · write_file
