@jameswahba In HelloDigest, you can directly digest an email from Gmail. Say you get a newsletter email; you simply need to click on the HelloDigest button and that will ensure that all future emails from that sender will be digested. There is no other site/page you need to visit to digest emails manually. My primary aim was to ensure that minimal time is spent digesting and viewing emails.
Hello everyone! Thank you Andrew for featuring HelloDigest.
I created this tool because I get a lot of newsletters (& drip emails) every day and it is very time consuming to go through each and every email. Moreover, these emails come in at ad-hoc timings and distract my daily workflow. However, I would still like to glance over these emails so that I don't miss any important update (product updates, offers etc.).
With HelloDigest, I simply digest the emails once directly from Gmail and then it sends me a single email every morning at 9am (my timezone) with all new emails in the last 24 hours.
Do try it out and let me know your feedback. I hope you find it as useful as I do.
As a consumer, I think this is pretty awesome! But then as a newsletter sender (Product Design - http://designforhumans.email if you're curious), I'm not sure how I feel about this. How does it affect the open rates (also the read time, CTR etc) of the original newsletter? I figure the tracked data would become unusable or at least misleading because of a service like this.
@arunpattnaik Hi Arun! HelloDigest is designed with consumers in focus. However, from what I understand, for email senders, it will mark the email as open when the consumer clicks on the email screenshot.
@anant_garg@arunpattnaik It'll likely count as an open once when the screenshot is taken, and once again when the email us viewed. Opens are imprecise and fuzzy to begin with, so I doubt this will change anything.
@anant_garg@samsexton Fair enough, but it also makes optimising the emails incredibly difficult. If an email doesn't get opened, we won't know if it landed in spam, the subject was uninteresting or if the images in the newsletter looked bad in the hellodigest screenshot. On the other hand, the false-opens during screenshot would move up the open rate (and not the CTR) which is not only misleading but also won't tell us whether the newsletter was a success or not.
