EMAIL DIGEST REVIEW · Workflow idea

Catch up on selected messages without losing the details behind each summary.

Prepare a morning digest from messages in a label the account owner selected, covering a defined recent time range. Keep useful links and message context so the reader can check the source, restrict summaries to the intended recipient, and flag missing or uncertain details. Do not forward sensitive content or treat a summary as a replacement for reviewing important messages.
