📱 Send a daily HTML post digest email with WordPress and SMTP
⚡ 0 views · 📱 Social Media & Email Marketing
Description
Quick Overview
This workflow runs daily at 8:00 AM, pulls recent posts from a WordPress site via the WordPress REST API, builds a mobile-friendly HTML digest with a plain-text fallback, and sends it as an email using SMTP.
How it works
- Runs every day at 8:00 AM on a schedule.
- Loads configuration values such as the WordPress site URL, look-back window, post limit, and recipient email address.
- Requests the most recent WordPress posts published after the look-back timestamp from
/wp-json/wp/v2/posts, including embedded featured media. - Builds an HTML email digest (plus a plain-text version) containing each post’s title, date, excerpt, featured image, and link.
- Checks whether any posts were returned and exits without sending an email when there are no new posts.
- Sends the digest email via SMTP with a subject line that includes the site URL and the number of posts.
Setup
- Set the
siteUrl,daysBack,postLimit, and recipienttoEmailvalues in the configuration step. - Configure SMTP/email sending credentials and set the
fromEmailaddress in the email step. - Ensure your WordPress site’s REST API is reachable (and adjust the schedule time if 8:00 AM is not desired).
