| 5 | +## Summary |
| 6 | +Having multiple RSS flows per Power Platform product can get messy. More over, it's not always user-friendly to access these updates through the Power Automate notifications. This weekly flow will retrieve all Power Platform product blog updates and summarize them into product categories through a neat HTML template. Then, once a week, users can receive a summary of all blog updates via email with links to each individual blog post. |
