You'll learn how to: Open Today every morning, work through the seven Flow sections in order, and use the Actions tab for weekly tracking.
Time: 10 minutes the first time. 5-15 minutes per day once you have a real network in Nynch.
Prereqs: You're signed in. Ideally your email or calendar is connected, which is what feeds the Briefing, Emails, and Meetings sections.
Where Today lives
In the left sidebar, the first item is Today. It loads automatically on sign-in. The route is just /. there's no URL to bookmark.
The page has two tabs across the top:
- Flow: the default tab. Card-based, swipe through your day.
- Actions: weekly activity grid. Targets and time-blocking.
Most days you live in Flow. Open Actions when you're planning a week or reviewing one.
Flow: the seven sections
Flow is split into seven horizontally-scrolling section tabs. Each tab shows a count badge if there are items waiting and a small spinner if the section is still loading. The order is fixed:
- Briefing (Sparkles icon)
- Rhythm (avatar icon)
- Emails (envelope icon)
- Approvals (paper-plane icon)
- Activity (clipboard icon)
- Meetings (calendar icon)
- Social (activity icon)
Click a section tab and the cards below switch. Use keyboard arrows or swipe to move through the cards in the active section. Recommended order: start at Briefing, work right.
Briefing
A short, AI-generated daily briefing card. The first thing you should read each morning. Typical contents:
- A summary of what happened in your network overnight (emails, meetings, signals).
- 2-4 specific suggestions for what to focus on today.
- Anything that needs immediate human input that didn't fit into Approvals.
Briefing cards have a "Mark handled" action when you're done reading. Click it before moving on so they don't pile up.
Rhythm
Contacts who are due (or overdue) for their next touch, based on the rhythms you've set up. Each card shows:
- Who the contact is, their company, their relationship strength bar.
- How long ago you last spoke.
- A status chip: Completed, Overdue, Due today, Due soon, Upcoming.
- Recommended next action(s).
The right action depends on the rhythm: maybe a quick check-in DM, maybe a longer email, maybe scheduling a call. Card actions cover all of those. After you do the action, the card moves out of the section and the next contact comes forward.
This is the section that gets you the most leverage. It's the difference between "I'll get to them eventually" and "I show up at the right cadence without thinking about it".
Emails
Unread or unhandled emails from your unified inbox, prioritised by AI. Each card shows the sender, subject, snippet, and AI-flagged urgency:
- Urgent (red)
- Due soon (amber)
- This week (blue)
- Upcoming / Future (slate)
You can reply inline (a Reply Coach drawer opens), mark read, archive, or open the full thread in Messaging.
Approvals
Things the AI wants to do but is waiting for your green light. Drafts of emails, scheduled outreach, suggested next moves. Each card shows:
- What the AI proposes.
- Why (one or two lines of reasoning).
- An Approve button and a Reject button.
If you see lots of Approvals piling up, it usually means an AI agent is configured to run autonomously but you haven't told it to actually send. Either approve a batch (there's a Bulk Approve), or tighten the agent's autonomy settings in Settings → Growth Assistant.
Activity
Outstanding commitments, action items, and activity-group cards from your week. Each card has a status chip like Rhythm:
- Completed
- Overdue
- Due today
- Due soon
- Upcoming
This section is the bridge between your weekly targets (set on the Actions tab) and the daily reality. Tick items off as you complete them, and completed items move to a "done today" tally that feeds the Actions weekly view.
Meetings
Calendar events for today and tomorrow, plus any AI-generated meeting prep that's ready. Each card shows attendees, meeting title, time, and a Prep action that opens an AI-generated briefing on the people in the room.
If you don't see meetings, check Settings → Email & Calendar to make sure your calendar is connected.
Social
Social signals from your network: job changes, funding announcements, posts, newsletter activity. Each card is one event you might want to react to. Actions:
- Reply opens the Reply Coach with context-aware draft suggestions.
- Mark actioned when you've done something about it.
- Dismiss when it's not relevant.
The Social section also feeds the Social view in the sidebar, which is the full history of every signal Nynch has seen.
How to work through Flow
There's no required order, but the most efficient pass:
- Briefing first. Three minutes max. Mark handled.
- Approvals next. They block downstream work. Approve or reject each one.
- Emails. Reply to the urgents inline. Triage the rest.
- Rhythm. This is the highest-leverage section. Spend the most time here.
- Meetings. Glance at upcoming. Use Prep if a meeting is later today.
- Activity. Tick off anything you've done. Look at what's still due.
- Social. Quick pass. React to anything strong, dismiss the rest.
On a slow day this is 10 minutes. On a busy day, 30. Either way, Today is designed to replace the "where do I start" anxiety, not to be a parking lot for everything.
Actions tab
Click the Actions tab at the top of Today.
You see a weekly grid:
- Rows are activity types (Calls, Emails, DMs, Meetings, plus any custom activities you've added).
- Columns are days of the week.
- Each cell takes a count of what you did that day.
Around the grid:
- My weekly target column: what you committed to this week per activity.
- Recommended target column: what Nynch's AI suggests based on your goals and historical performance.
- Total: running total for the week.
Above the grid: a week-selector so you can flip between weeks, a "Create week from last week" button, and an option to share your weekly plan via Slack or email.
You can also add or remove activity types, reorder them, and rename them. The same activities feed the Activity section on the Flow tab.
If something goes wrong
- Symptom: "Today is empty / I don't see any cards." → Fix: New workspaces take a day or two of activity before sections start populating. To populate Briefing, Emails, and Meetings immediately, connect Gmail or Outlook at Settings → Email & Calendar. To populate Rhythm, import contacts and assign them to a rhythm.
- Symptom: "Sections show a spinner forever." → Fix: This means a background job is taking longer than usual. Refresh the page. If it persists for more than 10 minutes, check the connected integrations in Settings.
- Symptom: "I see emails on the Messaging page but Today's Emails section is empty." → Fix: Today's Emails section is filtered for unread + AI-prioritised messages, not everything. Already-read or low-priority messages stay in Messaging.
- Symptom: "Approvals keep refilling no matter how many I approve." → Fix: An AI agent is running autopilot. Open Settings → Growth Assistant and either narrow what the agent can propose, or switch it from "auto-suggest" to "manual draft on demand".
- Symptom: "I can't add a count to the Actions grid." → Fix: Make sure the week is unlocked (current and last week are editable; older weeks are read-only). Use the week-selector to jump to the right week.
- Symptom: "The AI Briefing says the same thing every day." → Fix: The Briefing refreshes once per day. If it feels generic, your AI hasn't seen enough activity. Briefings get much sharper after a week or two of normal use.
Tips
- Open Today on every browser tab you have Nynch in. Approvals and Rhythm cards both move on a per-user basis, so any tab that updates pushes the change to the others.
- Use the section count badges as a "to-do thermometer". Three or fewer in each section is healthy. Twenty plus in Rhythm means you've fallen behind; ten plus in Approvals means your agent is over-configured.
- The Actions tab is for the Sunday-night planning session, not daily check-ins. Set your targets once, then come back at the end of the week.
