@Palfred where's the onboarding checklist? Starting week two and want to make sure I haven't missed anything

Found it in Confluence — here's your checklist:
✓ Dev environment setup (Day 1)
✓ Security training (Day 2)
✓ Meet your onboarding buddy (Week 1)
○ Shadow a team lead (Week 2)
○ Complete first project (Week 2)
You're right on track. I've taken the liberty of checking — your team lead has Thursday afternoon open for a shadow session. Would you like me to book it?

@Palfred send the product update email to the Q1 launch segment

Ready to send. I've pulled the segment from HubSpot — just need your go-ahead:

Good morning. I've noticed something worth your attention on the Acme Corp account:
I've drafted a check-in email for their account manager. Would you like to review it before I send?

good catch — send it. Also loop in @james before the renewal call

@Palfred what are users asking for most right now?

I've reviewed Intercom conversations and matched them against your Linear roadmap:
1. CSV export for reports · 34 mentions
● On roadmap — Sprint 14
2. Slack notifications for form submissions · 21 mentions
⚠ Not on roadmap
3. Team-level permissions · 18 mentions

If it helps, I can put together a one-pager for the next prioritization meeting.

@Palfred we're getting a spike in tickets about the export feature — what's going on?

Checked Zendesk — 12 tickets in the last 6 hours about CSV exports timing out.
I can have a Jira issue raised and the on-call engineer notified in a moment.
