How can I send one email notification with a list of linked issues with the same assignee?

Question

When a master task is created ("Task A"), other tasks are created which are linked to Task A as blockers (e.g. Task B, C, D, E, F blocks Task A).

Task B = Assignee 1

Task C = Assignee 2

Task D = Assignee 3

Task E = Assignee 1

Task F = Assignee 1

When Task A is created, I'd like to send a notification to the assignees of the linked issues, containing a list/summary of hyperlinks of the issues they are assigned to.

The goal is to avoid sending single notifications for every newly created issue to assignee, since it could happen that for every master task, Assignee 1 could be assigned to more than 5 tasks.

Example:

For Assignee 1:

Task A has been created. You have the following tasks:

* Task B
* Task E
* Task F

For Assignee 2:

Task A has been created. You have the following tasks:

* Task C

And so on...

I am not sure how this would be done in Automation, I know in our app, Notification Assistant for Jira you would do exactly what you said. Configure a scheduled trigger, set the recipient to Assignee. Configure the JQL to restrict it, and then select 1 email per recipient.
