How do I customize briefing components for different outputs?▼

You can customize briefing components by adding optional [briefings.components] overrides in your BRIEFINGS.md file. This enables or disables specific outputs like calendars, todos, markets, news, and reminders for each scheduled briefing.

Briefing schedules require a BRIEFINGS.md file located in your bot's config directory. The file uses TOML-like syntax with [[briefings]] entries, requiring a name, cron expression, conversation_token, and outputs for each briefing.

How do I override default briefing settings for specific users?▼

You override admin defaults by creating user-specific briefings in the BRIEFINGS.md configuration file. Define custom [[briefings]] entries with tailored cron schedules and [briefings.components] toggles to match individual user requirements.
