What are some example workflows for creating daily or weekly newsletters?

The key to an impactful, efficient newsletter is having a great workflow.


When setting up their newsletter workflow, most teams decide whether they want to:

  • A: completely automate their newsletter and put it on autopilot (articles get added directly to newsletters from Folders and sent out).
  • B: add a human curation step in the middle (where analysts choose articles, add them to a Board, which gets turned into regularly scheduled newsletters).

Newsletters on Autopilot

If you have well-refined AI Feeds, you can trust Feedly to create your newsletter, with zero interaction from you. This kind of workflow works well for high-volume situations where you don’t have time to review and curate, like daily vulnerability briefings.

Here’s what a newsletter-on-autopilot workflow generally looks like:

  1. Analysts set up great AI Feeds.
  2. They create a newsletter template and choose one or two Folders where content comes from.
  3. They choose a recurring schedule.
  4. They let it run on autopilot, sending out daily or weekly emails with content directly pulled from their chosen Folder(s).

💡 You can always review and edit each issue if you need to, even if you’ve set it up to pull automatically from a folder. This way, you can double check to make sure you approve of all articles before sending.


Also, if there are no new articles, a new newsletter won’t go out.

Curating your newsletter using Boards

For newsletters that need to be more curated with carefully chosen content, a hybrid automation/human curation approach might work best. Automated Newsletters will eliminate the tedious formatting and design work, but you can still curate the content with Boards.

Here’s what a workflow looks like for a curated weekly newsletter:

  1. Analysts set up great AI Feeds and review articles daily.
  2. They create a newsletter template and select a “nomination” Team Board to feed the newsletter.
  3. When they read an especially relevant article for their newsletter audience, they save it to the “nomination” Team Board. They nominate 10-20 articles per week. These are the best of the best, the ones that their audience needs to see.
  4. They add insightful comments in the “notes” section, which will then be included in the newsletter.
  5. Once a week, the team leader (or newsletter creator) reviews the newsletter content before it gets sent out.
  6. The newsletter gets automatically sent out on your chosen day(s).
