NEWS DIGEST DELIVERY · Workflow idea
For public feeds the sender is permitted to use, collect recent items on a defined schedule and format titles, excerpts, dates, and links into an email digest. Respect publisher terms and attribution, avoid forwarding full articles without permission, check links and dates, and ensure the recipients are appropriate for the digest. Review a sample digest and recipient settings before enabling scheduled delivery; protect email addresses and provide a clear way to change or stop delivery where applicable.
