Is it possible in Discourse for an admin to send a digest in bulk to specific users or email addresses whenever they want?

No, digest emails are sent automatically. There are some site settings that you can change to adjust when they’re sent, like `Default email digest frequency` but note that users can always opt-out of digests entirely from their preferences.

Sort-of. You can visit `/admin/email/preview-digest` and preview what people will see as well as change their last-seen date to see what the digest messages look like. You can then send that summary to any email address you want.
But you can’t do it in bulk, and those messages already go out automatically, so you’d just be sending them another one.
What problem are you trying to solve?

What do you mean by “specific digest?”

What I described mostly lets you do that. What is your use case?

Discourse isn’t really meant for sending mass emails on demand, there are third party email services that would be a better fit.

Not possible by default. If you really must have it, You may be able to extend the functionality in a custom plugin.

Digests aren’t designed to send specific posts, but topics/posts created since last visit. So it’s not really a digest at all, but a notification of some particular posts sent to some particular users? Something like sending a PM to the users with the URLs of the posts you want probably makes more sense. You could conceivably come up with a post template that looks something like the digest message?
