Can I customize the delivery time?
Yes. Set any time that works for you. Early risers might prefer 5:30 AM; night owls can get it at 9 AM. The schedule is fully configurable.
What news sources are available?
NimbleNews aggregates from major outlets. You can filter by category (business, tech, sports) or specific topics. Add keywords to prioritize relevant stories.
Can I get this via email instead of Slack?
Yes. Swap the Slack connector for email and format the briefing as an HTML email. Same content, different delivery.
Does this work with Outlook calendar?
Yes. Use the Microsoft Graph connector instead of Google Calendar. The workflow logic stays the same.
