What it does
Telling subscribers about a new post usually means copying text, images and links into a separate email tool, then formatting everything again. This addon removes that duplicate work. It sits in the post editor sidebar, so once a post is drafted or published you can create a newsletter from it without leaving the screen. That suits blogs, business sites and online publications that want to send timely updates after new content goes live.
You decide what goes into the draft: the featured image, the full article or just an excerpt, and the images inside the post content. A live preview shows the result right away. If you want more control over the layout, you can move the draft into the drag-and-drop composer for further edits before sending. The addon is part of the Newsletter plugin family, works with its Addons Manager, and ties into the wider subscriber management and reporting tools.
Best for
- Bloggers who email subscribers about each new post
- Online publications sending regular content updates
- Business sites already using the Newsletter plugin

Questions about Newsletter - Instasend
Does this work on its own or with the Newsletter plugin?
It is an addon for the Newsletter plugin by The Newsletter Team. It works with the Newsletter Addons Manager and relies on the main plugin's subscriber management and reporting features, so you would use it alongside that plugin.

No. You can include the full article or only an excerpt. You can also choose whether to add the featured image and the images from the post content.
