Newsletters: Send Post/Page as Newsletter

Send a WordPress post, page or custom post as a newsletter.

If you have the WordPress Newsletter plugin installed on your WordPress website, you can send posts/pages as newsletters when publishing/updating.

The box in the image below can be seen in the Add/Edit Post/Page screen below the text editor. If you have any of the conditions filled out in this box then clicking the Publish/Update button will begin the send/queue of the newsletter.

 

Future Scheduled Posts

Any WordPress posts scheduled to publish on a future date/time can still be sent as a newsletter. When you schedule a post, still choose the Newsletter plugin settings under “Send as Newsletter” (as explained below) and when WordPress automatically publishes the post, it will be queued as a newsletter.
