Send a Website News Digest with Muse and Zapier

What you’ll learn

Connect Muse to Zapier and build a task that finds relevant website stories and emails them to you. Test the results and delivery before turning the task into a recurring workflow.

Key steps

1. 1

   Connect Zapier’s MCP integration.

   Ask Muse to connect Zapier MCP, then follow the connection and authorization prompts. MCP is the connection that lets the assistant use actions in other apps. Review the requested access before approving it.

2. 2

   Connect the app that will receive the result.

   In Zapier’s app connections, create or check the connection for your chosen destination. The demonstration uses Gmail; the creator also discusses Slack and Google Sheets as other possibilities.

3. 3

   Describe the website, topic, and destination.

   Tell Muse which page to inspect, what stories to find, and where to send them. The demonstrated task searches the textsniff.com homepage for OpenAI-related articles and requests an email with the results.

4. 4

   Review permissions and test the task.

   Review prompts that authorize actions outside Muse. Use the narrowest permissions you are comfortable with rather than automatically granting ongoing access. Run a test before relying on the workflow.

5. 5

   Check the links and actual delivery.

   Open the selected stories and verify that they match the requested topic. Check your inbox as well as the assistant’s report. In the demo, Gmail encountered a problem and the message was sent through Zapier’s email instead.

6. 6

   Set a repeat schedule after the test.

   Once the result and delivery are correct, request a daily or weekly schedule that fits your needs. The creator suggests a weekly digest, but does not show a complete scheduling walkthrough; verify the saved schedule yourself.
