Daily check-in routine
ℹ️
For Amazon Seller subscribers. Optional but battle-tested.
The mobile app rewards a habit. Sellers who check in for 5 minutes a day — usually first thing in the morning, sometimes after dinner — catch problems early and ship faster. This page is the recommended routine.
The 5-minute morning check-in
| Step | Where | Look for |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Yesterday’s KPIs | Home tab → Yesterday | Are sales/orders/units roughly what you’d expect? Big drop = listing problem; big spike = stock-out risk. |
| 2. Today so far | Home tab → Today | If it’s late morning and Today is unusually low/high, something’s off. |
| 3. Buyer-message inbox | Chats tab → My + Unassigned | Anything urgent? Any escalation? |
| 4. Stock alerts | Drawer → Notifications (banner) | Any SKU just crossed below reorder point? |
| 5. Capture today’s note | FAB → Take a note | One thing to remember. Tag it for the bot if it’s customer-facing. |
That’s it. Five minutes.
The 5-minute evening wrap-up
| Step | Where | Look for |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Today’s final | Home tab → Today | Closing-bell numbers. |
| 2. Vendor / supplier follow-ups | Notes → Tag: vendor | Anything you said you’d send today and forgot? |
| 3. Notes you took today | Notes → “Today” filter | Any that need a quick action right now? |
| 4. Tomorrow’s reminders | Notes → Upcoming reminders | Anything firing tomorrow you should be ready for? |
| 5. AI Copilot suggestions | Chats tab → unread | Quick replies before bed. |
Why a habit beats one-off use
The mobile app’s value compounds with frequency. Sellers who only open it when something feels wrong have already let the problem grow for hours. Sellers who open it daily catch the same problems in the first 30 seconds.
Coming-soon push for orders, listing changes, and hijack alerts flips the model — Hilal pings you when something needs attention, no daily routine required. Until then, the routine is the thing.
Customize the habit
Most sellers settle into one of three rhythms:
- The morning person — full check-in over coffee, light evening glance.
- The evening person — quick morning glance, full check-in after the kids are asleep.
- The dipper — 90 seconds, four times a day. (Only works if you’ve already turned on push for the things that matter.)
Pick what fits your day. The one rule: every day.
