Automatically send yourself a daily digest

To automatically receive a daily digest, you’ll typically need to set it up through an email service, productivity tool, or automation platform. Here’s how to do it using popular methods:


1. Using Google Sheets + Google Apps Script (for custom summaries)

Create a script that sends a daily email with data or summaries.

Steps:

  • Open Google Sheets.

  • Go to Extensions > Apps Script.

  • Use this code:

javascript
function sendDailyDigest() { var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getActiveSheet(); var data = sheet.getDataRange().getValues(); var emailBody = "Daily Digest:nn"; for (var i = 1; i < data.length; i++) { emailBody += data[i].join(" | ") + "n"; } MailApp.sendEmail("youremail@example.com", "Daily Digest", emailBody); } function createTrigger() { ScriptApp.newTrigger("sendDailyDigest") .timeBased() .everyDays(1) .atHour(8) .create(); }
  • Save and run createTrigger once to activate.


2. Using Zapier (No-code Automation)

Set up a Zap to collect data and send it via email every day.

Steps:

  • Trigger: Choose an app like Google Calendar, Notion, or RSS feed.

  • Action: Use “Send Email” or “Digest by Zapier” to compile and send the summary.

  • Schedule: Daily at a specific time.


3. Using Notion + Notion Automation Tools

If you use Notion, tools like Notion Automations or Make.com can compile databases and email you a digest.


4. Using Slack or Teams for Team Digests

  • Use bots like “DailyBot” or “Geekbot” to post daily summaries automatically to a channel or DM.
