The Email Digest keeps users informed about relevant content and updates from your platform. You can configure which sources are prioritized in the digest and define the default frequency settings for your users.

You need the "Manage email digest" permission to configure the digest settings.

To learn more about the emails users can receive and what these emails look like for users, see Email notifications and email digest.

Understand content prioritization in the digest

You can select people, pages, and communities whose blog articles should be prioritized in the digest. This helps important content appear more prominently when more articles are available than can be included in a digest.

Article priority

The digest can include up to 50 blog articles. Articles are added in this order:

1. Prioritized people
2. Prioritized pages and communities
3. Auto-subscribed pages
4. Other pages, communities, and people

Within each priority group, the newest articles are included first. A higher-priority group can fill all available spots before articles from the next group are included.

Top Story

The Top Story follows a similar priority. The newest eligible article is selected from the first group that has content: Prioritized people → Prioritized pages and communities → Auto-subscribed pages.

Configure prioritized content

To prioritize content:

1. Go to Administration > Digest.
2. Under Prioritize content from people, select the users whose blog articles you want to prioritize. For example, you could select your organization's C-level executives or management.
3. Under Prioritize content from pages & communities, select the pages and communities whose blog articles you want to prioritize. For example, you could select your HR or Global News pages.
4. Select Save.

Prioritizing content is optional. If you don't select any people, pages, or communities, blog articles from auto-subscribed pages are prioritized over articles from other pages and communities. Within each group, the newest articles are prioritized first.

Configure the digest frequency

You can define whether the digest is enabled by default for users, its default frequency, and which frequency options users can select.

1. Go to Administration > Digest.
2. Under Frequency, select Enable email digest by default if you want the digest to be enabled automatically.
3. Under Set default frequency, select the frequency that should be used by default.
4. Under Configure what frequency options users can choose from, select the frequencies you want to make available to users in their notification settings for receiving the digest. The digest is sent according to each user's time zone:
   • Daily: Every day at 10:00 am
   • Weekly: Every Monday at 10:00 am
   • Bi-weekly: On the 1st and 15th day of the month at 10:00 am
   • Monthly: On the 1st day of the month at 10:00 am
5. Select how you want to save the configuration:
   • Save for new users applies the configuration to new user accounts created after saving.
   • Apply to all users applies the configuration to all users, including existing users. This means all users' currently defined digest settings are overwritten. For example, if a user had turned the digest off, it will be turned back on for them using the frequency you defined.

Users can manage their personal digest settings in notification settings. They can choose from the frequency options you've made available or turn the digest ON/OFF.
