Sage People Actions Digest

Also known as the Sage People Digest, the Actions Digest, and the Email Digest—an automatically generated email sent to all users of Sage People HCM, listing actions raised for them to complete. The digest is sent to the email address recorded for the User record associated with each team member, or if that is not valid, to the email address recorded in the Team Member object, Email field. The digest is addressed to the team member's name as held in the Team Member Name field. A new digest is sent:

When a new action is raised for you.
A reminder for an existing action is due. Reminders are sent 7 days after the original action was raised, and at 7 day intervals after that, until the action is completed.

The digest lists all uncompleted actions, and reminders are generated at 7 day multiples after every original action date, so if you have original actions raised on subsequent days, you will get reminders on subsequent days too:

Actions listed in the actions digest follow the same format, with standard verbs and process names based on custom labels. You can customize the process names and verbs for your org, but not what information is included for an action.

Tip

To stop Action Digest emails for employees who are leaving or have just left, ensure your processes for leavers include unchecking the Receive Actions Digest field in the Team Member record. You can also prevent actions from being triggered and leavers receiving emails by adding conditions to action events, which are based on the values of the Employment Status or Has Left field. This ensure emails are only sent to active employees.
