How email digests work
Customise when your search digests are delivered by setting your preferred frequency, days, and time zone. Pulse continuously monitors sources and queues new updates for your next scheduled email, ensuring you never miss key insights.
Setting up email digests
When creating or editing a search, you can choose whether or not to receive email updates.
If enabled, your digest will include all new documents and news gathered before your chosen delivery time (e.g. 7:00 a.m.).
You can configure:
-
Frequency – choose daily, weekly, or multiple days per week.
-
Specific days – for example, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
-
Time of day – select a delivery time that matches your chosen time zone.
Each digest will include everything collected since your last scheduled email, giving you a complete view of recent updates.
How Pulse processes digests
Pulse continuously monitors all tracked sources and queues any new documents or news items that match your active searches.
As long as your search remains active, new items are automatically captured and included in your next scheduled digest — no manual refresh needed.
For example:
-
News released late in the day will appear in your next scheduled email.
-
Updates published over weekends will automatically roll into your Monday morning digest.
Why this matters
