With some frequency people want to add something to the Summary emails (e.g., Need advertising added to the newsletter (Digest), and I just did a project where someone wants some data from custom fields added to summary emails). There is currently no way to do that without overwriting the whole template. This is a huge bummer if and when the template changes. To my naive way of thinking, it seems like the solution to this problem is that there be some stubs in user_notifications.rb like def digest_text_after_logo (user, opts) "" end with corresponding stuff in digest (e.g., @after_logo = digest_text_after_logo) and in the template (e.g., @after_logo after the logo before the following table). I think the places to add stuff include in the header after the logo before “Popular topics” perhap before “New for you” before the footer/unsubscribe links. All that to say Do I understand correctly what would need to be done? would this be a welcome PR? Would someone who knows the answer to (1) like to submit the PR?

My guess is that it’ll start changing 3x/week immediately after I count on it not changing. :wink: https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-activity-summary-emails-guide/36627/15?u=pfaffman But your point is well taken & I’ll proceed as if it’s not likely to change. I do still wonder if the problem did exist if my solution is on the right track.
