Is it possible to set up an notification for specific listings to be sent to an email.

For example if we have a custom post type of listings and we wanted the listings for the following day to be sent to an email at a specific time of day?

You can place a View inside an email notification, sure, but there's no simple way to schedule an arbitrary notification at a specific time on a specific date. Forms notifications can be triggered:
- When submitting the form
- When post status changes to some specific status
- When custom fields are modified

So you would have to write a custom Cron job or something that performs one of these tasks automatically to trigger notifications on a schedule.
