Email digests are one way to consume project results. Your project feed remains the source of truth in app, RSS/Atom, and CLI. Changing Email frequency affects only the emails. Paperzilla still evaluates papers continuously, keeps your feed current, and creates digests you can browse in the app.

​
Set up digest delivery

During project setup:
  1. Add a project name.
  2. Choose Email frequency.
  3. Set maximum papers per email.
  4. Add your email when prompted.
  5. Save project.

​
Choose daily, weekly, or paused delivery

​
Daily

Choose Daily when you want email soon after new relevant papers are ready.
  • Daily is event-driven, not a guaranteed every-day blast.
  • If no new papers qualify, no daily email is sent.
  • Your feed and app digests continue as normal.

​
Weekly

Choose Weekly when you want one scheduled checkpoint instead of email throughout the week.
  • Your feed stays live and continues updating as papers are processed.
  • Paperzilla still creates digests in the app during the week.
  • The weekly email includes the best-scoring papers from the past week, up to your max-paper limit.
  • Stronger matches are prioritized ahead of weaker related papers.

​
Pause

Choose Pause when you want zero digest emails but still want discovery to continue.
  • Your feed stays current.
  • Digests are still created for browsing in the app.
  • No digest emails are sent.

​
Change digest volume

To reduce inbox volume, you can:
  • lower Max papers per email
  • switch from Daily to Weekly
  • turn off Include adjacent papers
  • pause email delivery entirely

​
Weekly timing and timezone

Weekly delivery runs on the weekday and time you choose in delivery settings. Paperzilla schedules that weekly email using your Preferred time zone in Account settings. If you want the digest to arrive in a different local timezone, update Preferred time zone there.

​
Pause email delivery

To stop digest emails without stopping your project:
  1. Open delivery settings.
  2. Set Email frequency to Pause.
  3. Save.
Papers keep being discovered and digests are still created for browsing in the app, but no emails are sent. These digests show a Paused status badge. This is different from pausing the entire project, which stops discovery altogether.

​
What digest emails contain

A digest email includes a selected set of papers from your project, up to your max-paper limit. What that means depends on the schedule:
  • Daily: recent papers that are ready for that project, up to your limit
  • Weekly: the best-scoring papers from the past week, up to your limit
If your project excludes adjacent papers, the email only includes Must Read papers even if related papers exist in the app digest.
