It deduplicates and filters the articles, checks whether there is anything new to send, then builds an HTML digest and emails it through Gmail.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- Configure the schedule trigger with the desired daily run time and timezone.\n- Edit the **Configure Feed Settings** code node with your RSS feed URLs and digest settings.\n- Connect valid Gmail credentials to the **Send Email Digest** node and verify the recipient, subject, and HTML body mappings.\n\n### Customization\n\nAdjust the feed list, filtering window, deduplication logic, email template, and recipient list to match the topics and format you want in the daily digest."
