# Digest events

The summary an hourly, daily or weekly rule sends each period, field by field.

| Mode | Sent | Covers |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `hourly` | 5 minutes past each UTC hour | The previous hour |
| `daily` | `schedule.hour` and `schedule.minute` in `schedule.timezone` | Since the last digest |
| `weekly` | The same, on `schedule.weekday` | Since the last digest |

Daily and weekly rules skip a period without a relevant mention (`schedule.skipEmpty`, on by default). Hourly rules skip an hour with nothing at or above their minimum. `POST /v1/alerts/{id}/run` sends the last period now and keeps the schedule. A mention counts in the period it was scored. A rule can rename `event`, which defaults to `digest`.

  }
}
```

## Fields

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `window` | The period, in UTC |
| `matched` | Open, scored matches the rule accepts, relevant or not |
| `relevant` | Those with relevance 40 or higher |
| `previousMatched` | `matched` for the previous period |
| `byPlatform` | Matches per platform, largest first |
| `sentiment` | Relevant mentions per sentiment |
| `top` | Up to 10 open mentions, by `priority` |
| `negative` | Up to 5 negative mentions |
| `buyIntent` | Up to 5 with `buy_intent` |
| `questions` | Up to 5 with `question` |

Lists hold full [mentions](/api/mentions/get-mention) at or above the rule's minimum. A mention can be in several lists.

## Delivery

A digest is sent as built, even if you triage its mentions meanwhile. Editing the rule cancels a digest not yet sent.

Each channel retries every 5 minutes for up to 6 hours, hourly digests until 45 minutes past the next hour. The delivery log lists scheduled daily digests as `feed_…:2026-10-04` and hourly ones as `feed_…:h:2026-10-04T09`. See [Webhooks](/webhooks) for signatures.
