Newsletter Digests
One email. Everything you published.
Ghost is happiest sending one post at a time. If what you actually want is a weekly roundup — five stories, an intro, a donate button at the bottom — you've been building that by hand. The digest builder assembles it from your recent Ghost posts instead.
How it works
It reads your week and writes the email.
Say what goes in
A date range and the tags you care about. Lead stories up top, the rest below. Add your local weather or a sponsor message if you want one.
It assembles the email
Your standing intro, the stories with their headlines and excerpts, the images, and your sign-off — put together in that order, every time.
Draft it, or ship it
Leave it sitting in your Ghost drafts to read over and send yourself, or let it go out on schedule without you. Your call, and you can change it.
What it can do
The boring part, done the same way every week.
Your intro and outro stay put
The bits that never change — the welcome line, the donate ask, the footer — live as Ghost pages you edit once and reuse in every issue.
Lead stories and the rest
Tag what belongs at the top and what belongs further down. The digest keeps that running order so the important thing is the first thing.
Scheduled posts count
Building Friday's digest on Thursday? Posts that haven't gone live yet can still be included, so you're not waiting up to press a button.
A weather box, if you like
Local forecast at the top, the way a community newsletter usually opens. US locations, from the National Weather Service.
It tells you when it's thin
If a digest comes out empty or short because nothing got tagged, you hear about it before your readers do.
Or let it send itself
On a paid plan the whole thing runs on a schedule — the nightly or weekly digest goes out without you being awake for it.
There's more on the blog, including what it looks like in practice.
