Prepare a weekly feed digest

Collect several feed articles into one draft for review.

Open More → Workflows → Start from a template. Use Turn feed articles into a digest to collect several articles into one post.

  1. Open the interval trigger. The template runs every seven days; change the interval if needed. It is an interval from activation, not a particular weekday and clock time.
  2. Open Read RSS feed and enter the public HTTPS URL of the RSS or Atom feed.
  3. Open Limit items and choose how many items to keep. The template keeps five in the feed's returned order.
  4. Open JavaScript. The supplied code joins each item's title and link into a digest. Leave it as supplied for your first run.
  5. Open Create draft and choose the destination accounts. Its post text comes from the JavaScript step.
  6. Test the feed node to inspect real items, then run a preview of the workflow. Confirm the links and length suit your selected channels.
  7. Publish the workflow. Open Runs when a draft is waiting for review.

This template reads the feed's current items on each run. It does not remember which articles appeared in a previous digest. Use the RSS trigger template if you want one draft per new item.

See review and scheduling to send the approved draft.
