Overview
Interno does not have a scheduled "morning briefing" feature that assembles and sends you a report on its own. What it does have are two building blocks you can combine into a start-of-day routine:
- ZIN Advisor — ask for a summary of your posture whenever you want one, and get charts, tables and figures back in the chat.
- Alerts in the Query Library — saved queries that run on a repeating interval, so a condition is watched for you between check-ins.
This guide shows how to use both.
Prerequisites
- At least one integration connected and scanned, so there is data to summarise
- For ZIN Advisor: an Interno account on the Zeron cloud platform (ZIN Advisor is not shown on-premises)
- To save a scheduled alert: the Query Create permission (
defence:query:create)
Option 1: Ask ZIN Advisor for a Start-of-Day Summary
Navigation: Sidebar → ZIN Advisor
- Click ZIN Advisor in the sidebar.
- The chat opens on the screen headed What can I help you with?
- Either type your own question, or click one of the six use-case cards to load a ready-made prompt into the message box, edit it, and send it.
The six cards are the fastest way to get a broad picture each morning:
| Card | Good for |
| Internal Risk Analytics | Open risks by department, severity mix and how the overall score has moved |
| Control Effectiveness | Control maturity, test results by domain, and controls not reviewed recently |
| Audit Readiness | Readiness percentage, evidence progress and open remediation items |
| Policy & Procedure Management | Policies due for review and recent policy changes |
| Incident & Issue Tracking | Incidents over time, resolution times and SLA breaches |
| Asset & Configuration Insights | Asset mix, compliance by business unit and misconfigured assets |
Making it a routine
- Ask follow-up questions in the same conversation to drill into anything that stands out — the session keeps its context.
- Rename that conversation (hover it in the Recent Chats list) so you can find yesterday's answers and compare.
- Start a + New Chat each morning if you would rather keep days separate.
> Note: ZIN Advisor answers about the data Interno has already collected. If an integration has not scanned recently, the summary will be as old as its last scan.
Option 2: Have Interno Watch a Condition For You
Navigation: Sidebar → Assets → Query Library → Alert
An alert is a saved query that runs on a repeating interval, so you do not have to remember to check the condition yourself.
- Open Assets → Query Library and select the Alert tab.
- Existing alerts are listed with their Interval, Last Executed and Next Execution, so you can see what is already being watched and when it next runs.
- Click Create Alert to add one.
- To run an existing alert immediately, open its row menu and choose Trigger.
Pair the two options: let alerts watch the conditions that matter overnight, and use ZIN Advisor in the morning for the wider picture.
Troubleshooting
I cannot find a briefings screen or a briefings schedule → There is not one. Use the two routines above.
ZIN Advisor is not in my sidebar → It is available on the Zeron cloud platform only, not on on-premises deployments.
The summary is thin or says there is no data → ZIN Advisor can only summarise what has been collected. Check under Admin → Integrations that your integrations are active and their scans have completed.
The figures look out of date → Open the integration's credential card under Admin → Integrations and check its scan information, then run Start Scan if needed.
The Alert tab shows an access-denied screen → The Alert tab requires the defence:query:view permission, and creating alerts requires defence:query:create. Ask your administrator.
