What it does

This workflow sweeps the last 24 hours of newsletter mail, generates a tight bullet summary of each one, and writes a single dated digest page in Notion. The source emails are archived, keeping the inbox empty without losing the content.

When to use it

Use it when newsletters and digests bury the mail that matters. Instead of skimming ten emails, you read one Notion page each morning and open only the issues worth your time.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires each morning at your chosen hour.
  2. 2Gmail is searched for messages from the past day matching newsletter patterns and list-unsubscribe headers.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes each newsletter into a title, three bullets, and a read-more link.
  4. 4The summaries are assembled into one dated digest entry.
  5. 5A new page is created in your Notion reading-list database with all summaries.
  6. 6The processed newsletters are archived in Gmail so the inbox returns to zero.
