[DevOps]Automate newsletter: sending information from a github to a newsletter

[discombobulateme]

Our current service Drip do not allow us to dynamically get content from a GitHub repos and send it into a newsletter workflow.
Without this feature, it is not possible to automate the newsletter, and specially, to have new contributions added to the newsletter process.

• Find a vendor that allows this feature
• If not, plan how could we build this automation process

@DylanLacey proposed the following service:

If we use something like Postmarkwe might be able to get Docusaurus to render HTML emails
Which we can then send with the API

I need to set it up and try it out

Possible steps to solve this mysterious issue 👀

1. Decide on the automation framework, to automate the creation of an email in Drip

• Create a test email series in Drip
• Manually gather all the single steps that need to be automated
• Choose an automation tool to create an email series
• Send the email

2. Add a styled HTML in the automated Drip email
3. Trigger the automated script when a new content is added to the GH Repo
