Recaps

How do Recaps work?

Recaps are generated every Friday (or on demand) for every team member enrolled in the Routine. They are automatically generated by parsing through millions of activities from your company's integrations with Windmill.

In any given Recap, we do our best to summarize an employee's key activities in 3-5 bullets. These bullets are then shared directly with each employee, where they can edit or alter the Recap. Once they approve it, the Recap is shared with the person's manager.

How Recaps help the team

1. Recaps can help keep your team focused on the right things, and prevents employees from getting too side tracked.

2. As a team member, Recaps relieve you from feeling like you have to create a 'brag sheet' or list out your work from the week. We do that work for you - just edit where necessary.

3. When time comes to reflect on your performance, it's extraordinarily helpful to have a running list of what you've achieved backed by actual data from your tech stack.

How can I improve my Recaps?

If you receive your Recaps on Friday and find yourself wondering, "Are these for me?" or "I think I did more than this..." - do not fear.

There are lots of ways to improve the quality of your Recaps. Here are a few:

1. The more data we have the better it works. If there are other integrations that would be helpful to get more context, your organization should add them. Our full list of available integrations is linked here.

2. Windy isn't perfect. If she forgets something, you can always reply to her on Friday with your edits directly - Windy will always incorporate your edits into the final list.

How can I see my team's Recaps?

1. You can log into gowindmill.com to review everything for your team.

2. Like all Routines, this one will generate a weekly report for you to review that includes everyones Recaps from the previous week.
