+# Configure periodic summary for your active Advisor recommendations
+
+Advisor Recommendations Digest provides an easy and proactive way to stay on top of your active recommendations, across different categories. The features provide the ability to configure periodic notifications, to your desired channel-type (email, sms, any other), for the summary of all ative recommendations across different categories.
+This article shows you how to set-up a Recommendations Digest for your Advisor recommendations.

+3. Action Group: You can either select an existing action group or create a new action group.To learn more about action groups, see [Create and manage action groups](https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/azure-monitor/platform/action-groups).
+4. Language for the digest
+5. Recommendation Digest name: User-friendly string
