Sets necessary variables like site_id and plausible_url.\n3. Fetches top pages, referrers, and traffic data from different time periods.\n4. Processes the data to find insights like new referrers and content decay.\n5. Combines these insights and formats a message.\n6. Sends the formatted digest message via Telegram.\n\n### Setup steps\n\n- [ ] Schedule the workflow for every Monday at 8:00 AM.\n- [ ] Configure the 'Set Variables' node with correct site_id, plausible_url, and telegram_chat_id.\n- [ ] Ensure API credentials or tokens for HTTP requests are set up.\n- [ ] Set up Telegram credentials in the 'Send Digest via Telegram' node.\n"
