Sharepoint Email Alerts

You can set up automatic news digests so there is no need to manually send emails each time there is a new post: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/automatically-sending-news-post-digests-with-branding-b930b579-0de5-4c67-86f0-de64b87c45e3
To clarify, automatic news digests are automatic - you don't set them up. You can, however, manually curate a news digest and send it to a pre-defined group of users. But neither is an "alert" - they are both summaries and they come via email. The SharePoint auto-news digest feature sends an automated email to users about the latest news posts that are relevant to them, but that they may not have viewed yet. This is not the same as an alert, however. It is a summary. It only includes a max of 10 items. It is sent no more frequently than weekly. This may or may not be what you are looking for. but it might actually be what your users prefer!
