Weekly Digest

Setting up a digest

Name, schedule, branding, and choosing how much of it fills itself in.

Last updated September 2, 2026


Use Create New Digest. Everything below can be changed later, so get it roughly right and refine it after the first send.

The basics

A Digest Name, which is also the email subject line, a Digest Heading shown at the top, a Footer Message for any legal or privacy wording, and a Digest Logo — leave the logo blank and your organisation logo is used.

THE NAME IS THE SUBJECT LINE
It arrives in inboxes exactly as written, every time. "Weekly Digest" is a subject people stop opening; something that names your network reads better.

Schedule

Choose a Frequency — Daily, Weekly, Fortnightly, Monthly or Manual — then a Day and a Time in half-hour steps. Daily does not ask for a day. Times are worked out in your organisation's timezone.

THE SEND NOW BUTTON ONLY EXISTS ON MANUAL DIGESTS
If your digest is set to Weekly and you want a one-off extra send, there is no button for it. Either switch the frequency to Manual, send, and switch it back — or plan around it.

Two switches control whether it goes at all: Send weekly digest and Skip if no articles. The second only checks for articles — with it off, a digest containing nothing but reviews still sends.

Where it comes from

Under Sender Domain, send from the Gorilla Dash domain or from your own. Choosing your own asks for a Sender Address and only appears if you have a verified sending domain set up.

The automatic content

SettingControls
Include tribe our work postsWhether case studies are pulled in at all.
Only include approved our work postsWhether they need signing off first.
Maximum number and maximum ageHow many, and how recent.

Include review leader boardRanks tribes by review score.

Turning on approval adds a Work Post Approval screen where you preview each post and approve or reject it. Worth it if your tribes publish unevenly.

Changing the day resets the cadence

Editing the day or time clears the record of when it last sent, which matters for a fortnightly digest — it will restart its two-week count from the next send rather than continuing the old rhythm.
