Two small but motivating features live on your dashboard: the **Activity Feed** shows your last 6 outreach actions across all leads, and the **Streak Counter** tracks consecutive days of pipeline activity. Together they create a lightweight habit loop that rewards consistent daily outreach.

## The Activity Feed

   The Activity Feed lives in the left column of the bottom row of your dashboard. It shows the **6 most recent notes** you've added across any lead, in reverse-chronological order.

- **Carrier name** — clickable, opens the lead detail panel
- **Note content** — truncated to one line
- **Time ago** — e.g. "5m ago", "2h ago", "3d ago"
- **Note category icon** — coded by note type (call, email, drop-in, general)

## What Counts as Activity

   Anything that produces a row in the lead notes table appears in the feed. That includes:

- Manually-added notes from the lead detail panel
- Auto-generated "Contacted via Daily Action Plan" notes
- Auto-generated "Call Logged" notes from the call assistant (includes outcome and your custom notes)
- Auto-generated entries when you change a lead's pipeline stage

##### Bulk imports don't count

If a note was created by a bulk operation or admin import, it still appears in the feed. The streak counter, however, only rewards *your* outreach actions on the day they happened.

## Empty State

##### First-time users see a prompt

If you haven't added any notes yet, the feed shows **"Start by contacting a lead above!"** with a clipboard icon. Once you make your first call or send your first email, the feed populates immediately.

## How the Streak Counter Works

   The streak is the number of **consecutive days** you've added at least one note. It appears in the top-right of the dashboard greeting banner with a fire emoji and a "day streak" label.

### Calculation

- We pull every distinct day you've added a note in the last 60 days
- Starting from today, count back day by day — each day with activity adds 1 to the streak
- First day with no activity ends the count
- Streak only shows when it's at least 1 day

## Streak Examples

| Recent activity | Streak shown |
| --- | --- |
| Notes added today, yesterday, day before | 3-day streak |
| Notes added today and 2 days ago | 1-day streak (yesterday broke it) |
| Notes added yesterday but not today | 1-day streak (yesterday still counts as the start) |
| Notes added 5 days running, then nothing for 3 days | No streak shown |
| No notes ever | No streak shown |

##### The streak resets at midnight

Day boundaries are based on your timezone (set in Profile). A note added at 11:59 PM counts for that day; a note added one minute later counts for the next day.

## Why Streaks?

   Daily outreach is the highest-ROI activity in the entire platform. Carriers don't convert from a single call — they convert from *consistent* contact over weeks. The streak counter is a small but effective nudge: showing up every day, even just to log one note, compounds into a healthy pipeline.

##### Five minutes a day beats one hour a week

A 30-day streak almost always means a healthier pipeline than a single 4-hour blitz once a month — even if total time spent is the same. Use the streak as your minimum daily bar.

## If You Break Your Streak

   Missed a day? Don't over-correct. The streak resets to 0, but the next note you add starts a new one. The rolling 60-day window means you have plenty of room to rebuild.

- **One note per day** is enough to extend the streak. Even a quick "left voicemail" counts.
- **The Daily Action Plan** queue makes the daily minimum easy — one card actioned = one note logged.
- **The Tuesday change-signals email** usually hands you 1–2 leads worth a quick check-in — an easy way to keep a streak alive on a slow day.
