Newsletter Automation: 2-Agent Workflow

Transform your newsletter creation from a time-consuming manual process into a fully automated system. This workflow uses two specialized agents that work in sequence to research, compile, and distribute professional newsletters without any manual intervention.

🔍 Agent 1: Latest news research → Google Doc compilation

Automation & Quality Control

Making Agents Autonomous: For each agent, go to its main page and enable autonomous mode with your chosen schedule. This creates a hands-free newsletter system.

Recommended Schedule:

• 8:00 AM Monday: Agent 1 researches latest news and updates Google Doc

• 10:00 AM Monday: Agent 2 compiles newsletter and creates Gmail draft (2-hour processing gap)

Quality Control Process:

• Review the Gmail draft before sending (agents create drafts, not sent emails)

• Verify all subscriber emails are in BCC field for privacy

• Check styling renders correctly in Gmail preview

• Send manually after final review (recommended for newsletter quality)

Expected Results

With this system running every Monday, you'll automatically generate:

• Comprehensive research on latest AI industry developments

• Company-focused coverage of Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft developments

• Professionally styled newsletter ready for distribution

• Complete subscriber management with privacy-conscious BCC distribution

This automated newsletter system transforms your weekly industry communication from a 4-6 hour manual process into a 15-minute review and send task, while maintaining professional quality and comprehensive coverage.
