Nice, but needless

I have Events Manager for WordPress and am looking to automate parts of my newsletter.

The free version is nice, but doesn’t do anything I can’t do with a shortcode. I already have draft posts that generate content for my weekly email using shortcodes that I copy and paste from.

I was looking for a solution to an automated daily newsletter that includes:
1 – Today’s events from my calendar
2 – Recent Posts
3 – Future Featured Events
I am able to use my site’s main RSS feed for #2 and have the events manager RSS set for #1. I’ve been doing #3 manually which is what I was hoping to use this plugin for. I’ll keep looking for a free automation solution.
