Hi DaithiG,

AFAIK - within Microsoft 365 - it is. Good article here -

Otherwise, it is manually emailing digests from multiple sites. I would recommend trying to consolidate news sites into either organisational news

Or consider the future Home Site

As a way to make it simpler and reduce the number of flows required.

Hope that answers your question!

DaithiG if your "main" site is a Communications site you can set it as a hub site and then news from all sites in the hub will roll up to the main site and can then be sent out as an email digest. This is what we are trialling at the moment with news from about 12 sites in our hub. The image below shows the selection of news from 3 of them.
