Simplify Your Newsfeed: Automate Daily Emails with Zapier's RSS to Email Integration

Published on Feb 28th, 2024

Staying informed with the latest updates from your favorite websites and blogs can be a daunting task. However, with Zapier, you can easily automate this process, ensuring you get a daily digest of news delivered directly to your inbox through an RSS to Email setup. This powerful tool streamlines your information intake, making sure you never miss an important update.


First, let's understand what you need to get started: an RSS feed URL from the site you’re interested in, a Zapier account, and an email where you want to receive the daily updates. Once you have these in hand, you’ll be ready to automate your news feed with the following steps:



  1. Create a Zap: Log in to your Zapier account and click on the ‘Make a Zap!’ button at the top right corner.

  2. Set up Trigger: Select the 'RSS by Zapier' as the trigger app. Choose 'New Item in Feed' as the trigger event and paste your RSS feed URL into the setup.

  3. Test the Trigger: Zapier will fetch an existing item from your RSS feed to make sure things are working smoothly.

  4. Set up Action: Now, select 'Email by Zapier' as the action app. Choose 'Send Outbound Email' as the action event to customize the email you'll receive.

  5. Customize Email: Input your email address in the 'To' field, and customize the 'Subject' and 'Body' fields to include information from the RSS feed, such as the title, description, and link to the content.

  6. Test the Action: Send a test email to confirm that everything looks the way you want it.

  7. Turn on the Zap: After you’re satisfied with the setup, activate the Zap. You will now receive a daily email with the RSS feed updates.


Zapier provides a flexible and intuitive platform for non-developers to create custom workflows. This RSS to Email functionality is just one example of how automation can save you time and keep you informed without the manual hassle of checking multiple websites every day.


By implementing this simple yet effective automation strategy, you’ll streamline your reading and stay ahead of the curve with the latest news and content from your selected sources. Welcome to a smarter way of staying connected to the topics that matter most to you.
