I want to make an app to manage people. But once a week I want to mail every person its own summary with for example high priority todo’s. I assume using Zapier / Make is the way to go?  
Or are their other options? If not, where / how to start?

Yeah, you’ll need to use something external to Glide, because there is no way to trigger time based actions from Glide.

Which tool you turn to is probably just a matter of which you’re most comfortable with, although your choice of back end data source might limit your options.

In general, you’ll just need to set up a scheduled job that scans your ToDos and picks out those that meet whatever criteria you define, and then sends an email to the owners.
