Description
Most small businesses start a newsletter and stop after a few issues, because writing it takes time. Newsletter Ready writes it for you from the posts you already publish.
How it works
- Newsletter Ready reads your new posts (through your RSS feed or posts page).
- AI drafts the issue: subject line, introduction, a short summary of each post with a link back to your site, and a sign-off. It only uses what is in your posts; it does not invent facts.
- You read the draft and approve it. Nothing is sent before you approve.
- The issue is sent to your subscribers, with the legal footer and one-click unsubscribe for your region.
What this plugin adds to WordPress
- A sign-up form block (“Newsletter Ready sign-up form”) for posts, pages, widget areas and the site editor.
- A shortcode,
[newsletter_ready], for the classic editor and page builders. - An option to show the sign-up form after every post.
- A settings page that walks you through connecting your site.
Features of the Newsletter Ready service
- AI drafts from your published posts, with a source link under every summary
- Subject line A/B tests
- Welcome email for new subscribers
- AI reply assistant that sorts readers’ replies and drafts answers for you to approve
- Open and click analytics, with short AI advice for your next issue
- Consent records, double opt-in where required, and one-click unsubscribe (Gmail and Yahoo requirements)
- Legal footers for Japan, the US (CAN-SPAM), the EU (GDPR), the UK, Canada (CASL), Australia, South Korea and Taiwan
- Interface and newsletters in 10 languages: English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Korean and Traditional Chinese

External services
This plugin connects your site to Newsletter Ready (https://newsletterready.com), a hosted email newsletter service operated by kazlinks Inc. An account on that service is required to send newsletters.
- Sign-up form: when a page that contains the form is viewed, the visitor’s browser loads the form from
https://newsletterready.com/s/<your-id>?embed=1inside an iframe. When a visitor subscribes, the email address, the optional name and company, and the consent they give are sent to Newsletter Ready so that you can email them. Their IP address and browser information are recorded as proof of consent. - Your posts: Newsletter Ready reads your public RSS feed or posts page from its own servers to draft issues. The plugin itself does not send your content anywhere.
- The plugin does not send any data from your WordPress database, and it adds no tracking to your site.

FAQ
-
Does it send emails without my approval?
-
No. Every issue waits for you to read and approve it.
-
Does it send from my WordPress server?
-
No. Emails are sent by Newsletter Ready’s sending infrastructure (Amazon SES), with SPF, DKIM and DMARC set up. Your hosting is not used for sending, so it does not affect your server’s mail reputation. On the Pro plan you can send from your own domain.
-
Can I import my existing subscribers?
-
Yes. In Newsletter Ready you can add people one by one, paste a list or upload a CSV, recording the consent basis for each address. Only add people who agreed to receive your emails.
-
Which languages are supported?
-
The service, the AI drafts and the legally required footer text are available in English, Japanese, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Korean and Traditional Chinese.
-
Is the form GDPR-compliant?
-
The form shows the consent wording and privacy notice for the region you choose in Newsletter Ready, and uses double opt-in in the EU and the UK. Consent and unsubscribe records are kept as proof. You remain responsible for how you use your list.
-
How do I change the form’s look?
-
The form adapts to the width of the column it is placed in. Its height adjusts automatically. You can change the height of the first load with
[newsletter_ready height="600"].
