Ghost CMS provides excellent newsletter capabilities, but lacks a built-in way to automatically send weekly digest emails summarizing recent posts. Building this feature requires understanding Ghost's Lexical editor format, coordinating between Ghost's Content and Admin APIs, and preventing duplicate sends. The solution uses EventBridge for scheduling, Lambda for processing, and DynamoDB for deduplication tracking.
The system automatically collects posts from the past week, generates a newsletter in Ghost's native format with rich preview cards, and sends it to all subscribers. Each post appears as a bookmark card with title, excerpt, and featured image, providing an engaging summary for readers.
