Transform your news digest with Zapier
Zapier helps you turn news digest creation into a reliable, repeatable workflow for busy professionals. Collect source updates, draft AI summaries, and deliver finished digests—and that's just the start.
Source collection
Keep every important story in view
Gather articles from the sources that power your news digest automatically. Zapier can pull items from Feedly, Inoreader, Gmail, and research tools into one review stream with tags, dates, and links attached. That gives you faster coverage and fewer missed stories.
Real-time source capture
Capture new articles from RSS feeds, newsletters, and alerts the moment they arrive, so your news digest starts filling itself before you open a doc.
Inbox story intake
Route newsletters and forwarded articles from Gmail or Microsoft Outlook into a digest queue with sender, subject, and source details attached.
Topic-based article routing
Sort incoming news by topic, audience, or urgency and send each item to the right Airtable base, Notion database, or review channel.
Duplicate story filtering
Reduce noise by checking headlines and URLs before adding items to your queue, so repeat coverage does not crowd out fresh reporting.
Research feed enrichment
Pull in supporting context from Exa or Perplexity when a story lands, giving your digest more than a bare headline and link.
