This isn&#8217;t a judgment on quality, it&#8217;s what the message is for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Daily Specials<\/strong> and <strong>Retreats<\/strong>. The digest is for hosted events happening on that specific day. Daily Specials and Retreats have their own sections on the main daily feed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>1:1 sessions.<\/strong> These live on your channel only.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Events starting before 08:30.<\/strong> The digest goes out around 07:30 and people need lead time to get somewhere. Early events still appear on the website and app.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The digest is personally curated<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The WhatsApp and Telegram digests are not automatic feeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every night, I personally review the upcoming events and select the highlights for the next morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I try to create a healthy balance between different facilitators, venues, categories, event styles, price ranges, and community interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, I usually avoid featuring too many events from the same venue on the same day. I also try not to repeat the same facilitators too often, so the digest stays varied and fair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also look at the shape of the whole day, spreading the selection from morning through to night rather than stacking everything into one part of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What increases the chances of being included<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no guaranteed inclusion, but several factors can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Clear and high-quality event submissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events with clear titles, good descriptions, complete information, proper formatting, and strong images are much easier to feature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easier it is for people to understand what the event is, who it&#8217;s for, and what to expect, the stronger the event usually performs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Creator Channels and followers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todo.Today now includes Creator Channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When facilitators enable their Creator Channel, explorers can follow them, see all their upcoming events, save events, and build personal feeds around the creators they care about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This also helps me understand community interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If many people follow a creator, it signals that people genuinely care about their events and want to see more from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Event saves<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When explorers save an event on Todo.Today, it is another strong signal of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is one reason why submitting events early matters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Events submitted in advance have more time to be discovered, get saves, build interest, and gain momentum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last-minute submissions generally have lower chances of being included in the digest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Community-driven submissions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Todo.Today is a community-driven platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I usually prioritize events submitted directly by facilitators, organizers, and creators, rather than events copied from external sources or generic venue calendars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a venue is organizing its own event, that is different, but in general I prefer direct creator involvement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Sharing and supporting the platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also appreciate creators who actively support and share Todo.Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When facilitators share their Todo.Today links, post their Creator Channel, bring people into the platform, or encourage followers to save events, it helps grow the community around local life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a positive signal that the creator is part of the Todo.Today ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Even if your event is not in the digest, it is still live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your event is approved, it is still visible on Todo.Today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People can discover it through the website, Creator Channels, follows, saves, personalized feeds, direct links, and upcoming event browsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many explorers already use Todo.Today directly to plan ahead beyond the WhatsApp and Telegram highlights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The goal stays the same<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The purpose of the daily digest is not to show everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is to create a high-quality daily selection, a useful experience, a trusted community ritual, and a simple way to discover local life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you for being part of it \ud83d\ude4c<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How the daily WhatsApp &#038; Telegram digest is curated: why it&#8217;s a selected handful, what never appears in it, and what helps your event get picked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"menu_order":3,"template":"","meta":{"ttg_helpful_yes":0,"ttg_helpful_no":0,"tt_seo_title":"","tt_seo_description":"","footnotes":""},"guide_category":[1188],"class_list":["post-104707","guide","type-guide","status-publish","hentry","guide_category-creators"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide\/104707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/types\/guide"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide\/104707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=104707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"guide_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/todo.today\/api\/wp\/v2\/guide_category?post=104707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
