# Sample nightly digest: Tally payments, 18 August

A fictional result of the Nightly digest from n8n recipe: yesterday's payments in numbers, what needs a person, and how it compares with the night before.

> [!info]
> **Fictional example.** Tally and its numbers are invented. This is the shape of the draft an n8n workflow writes each night: it pulls the day's payments, an AI Agent node reads the previous digest in onecell, and writes this one.

<!-- onecell:block {"type":"stats","items":[{"tone":"good","delta":"+9% on the 17th","label":"Paid","value":"£48,210"},{"tone":"bad","delta":"+5","label":"Failed payments","value":"14"},{"label":"Disputes opened","value":"1"},{"label":"Payouts","value":"312"}]} -->
| Metric | Value | Change |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Paid | £48,210 | +9% on the 17th |
| Failed payments | 14 | +5 |
| Disputes opened | 1 |  |
| Payouts | 312 |  |

## Needs a person

- [ ] Failed payments are up for the second night running. 9 of 14 are one card issuer: worth a look before it is a trend.
- [ ] A dispute on invoice 2291 (£1,450, Northwind Studio's client). Evidence due 1 September.

## Compared with last night

|  | 17 Aug | 18 Aug |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Paid | £44,180 | £48,210 |
| Failed | 9 | 14 |
| Paid on the first reminder | 61% | 64% |

Nothing unusual otherwise. The previous digest's open item (a payout delayed by a bank holiday) cleared this morning.
