Workflow context
When to use this workflow
Use this workflow when a support or operations lead needs to send a weekly internal update with top issues, resolved work, and open escalations.
What this replaces
This replaces manually rebuilding weekly update emails, forgetting standard sections, and manually adding team and leadership recipients.
Why teams standardize this email
Internal updates are easier to scan when they follow the same structure every week. A workflow helps teams keep issues, resolutions, and escalations organized before the sender reviews and sends the email.
What Toggles adds beyond a normal Outlook template
Toggles inserts the workflow directly in Outlook, prompts for variables, prepares operational details, and keeps the draft editable before sending.
- Inserts the weekly update email in Outlook
- Prompts for week ending date, top issues, resolved highlights, open escalation, and sender name
- Adds the approved weekly support update subject line
- Can address the configured support team and copy leadership
- Keeps the draft editable before sending

No. The sender enters the weekly details into the workflow before reviewing the Outlook draft.
