Ask HN: How do you create personalized weekly update emails?

1 points by julee04 ↗ HN
Curious as to what the best way would be to implement emails where every email is different for each user. Is the best way to run a cron job every week and send them out using something like Sendgrid?

Sendgrid or Mailchimp let's you create templates which get filled with the custom details, though you'll likely be running a cron-job to get the data to send to the email provider.

Email is a bit of a pain, there is a reason these companies exist. They aren't cheap either.
