Digests let you combine one or more previously published announcements into a single, consolidated summary—delivered via email and/or Slack. This feature helps maintain engagement by decoupling how often you communicate from how often your team ships updates. Send fewer messages that cover more ground, or resurface key announcements to make sure they get noticed.
Key Features
Flexible Delivery: Choose a delivery cadence that fits your needs—weekly, monthly, or on a custom schedule—to keep your audience informed without overwhelming them.
Multi-Channel Support: Reach subscribers where they’re most active by sending Digests via both email and Slack.
Simple Assembly: The intuitive interface makes it easy to compile and customize Digests, so you can focus on the message rather than the mechanics.
Controlled Access: Contributors, Publishers, and Admins can create and edit draft Digests. Only Publishers and Admins can publish, ensuring that outgoing updates are controlled and reviewed.
Digest Targeting
By default, Digests notify subscribers who follow one or more of the categories tied to the announcements included.
The “Send to All” option allows you to bypass this targeting and send the Digest to all confirmed subscribers—regardless of their category preferences. This is especially useful when you need to deliver critical updates broadly, or when the Digest includes announcements from a mix of categories. Note: this still respects subscriber status and will not include those who have fully unsubscribed.
Practical Use Cases
Weekly Product Updates: Share a single Digest covering all updates from the past week.
Monthly Changelog Summaries: Provide a round-up of all the enhancements, fixes, and improvements over the last month.
Year in Review: Celebrate big milestones and product evolution with a once-a-year highlight reel.
Getting Started
To send a Digest:
Go to the Digests section in your LaunchNotes management portal.
Create a new Digest or open an existing one.
Add at least one announcement. You can also customize the subject line and introduction.
Before publishing, choose whether to use category-based targeting or enable “Send to All Subscribers.”
