Automate a weekly newsletter draft with research and exports

Annika Helendi used Lindy to gather weekly AI marketing news and draft a newsletter plus promo content on a Monday schedule.

What they did
Annika Helendi set up a Lindy agent with a Monday 9am trigger. She asked it to scan the previous week’s AI marketing news, write a newsletter for marketers, then save the draft in Airtable and email it to her. She also connected web search, Airtable, email, and writing tools, and gave it her style guide so it had context. The agent was allowed to decide which tools to use and in what order.
How it went
She says the setup took less than 10 minutes. The agent now produces a newsletter draft along with LinkedIn posts, tweets, and video scripts. The post doesn’t show example output or say how good the drafts are.
Tips
If you want this kind of workflow, give the agent a clear time trigger, a style reference, and a stop point before anything is sent or published. For work that needs tighter control, she still relies on Make.com.

Try it yourself with Lindy

Every [Monday at 9am], look up the past week’s news about [your topic]. Use [link to a previous issue or style guide] to match my tone, then draft a newsletter for [your audience] plus [number] LinkedIn posts, [number] tweets, and [number] video scripts. Save the drafts in [Airtable/Google Docs] and email them to me. Before you send anything, publish anything, delete anything, or submit anything, pause and ask for my approval. Stop once the draft files and email are ready.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
