Recommended Schedule:
8:00 AM Monday: Agent 1 researches latest news and updates Google Doc
10:00 AM Monday: Agent 2 compiles newsletter and creates Gmail draft (2-hour processing gap)
Quality Control Process:
Review the Gmail draft before sending (agents create drafts, not sent emails)
Verify all subscriber emails are in BCC field for privacy
Check styling renders correctly in Gmail preview
Send manually after final review (recommended for newsletter quality)

Professionally styled newsletter ready for distribution
