Digest by Zapier – compiling data in digests
The Digest by Zapier built-in app allows you to capture data from multiple workflow trigger events and compile the data into single summaries that can be used in other action events. This is really useful if you have several notifications that you want to receive a summary of at one time rather than as they happen. If you don't want to be disturbed on certain days with regular notifications, turn them off and just receive a summary at times you specify. Conversely, some of your apps may not send you notifications of certain events, and in this case, you might want reports of certain occurrences at a regular time. You can also search for existing digest data to use in your workflows.
Here are a few examples of how you can use this built-in app:
- Send a weekly email to management with a summary of all sales invoices created over that week.
- Send an email with a periodic summary at 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. of all Slack notifications...
