Weekly digest of posts

    Firstly, I’m loving Mailpoet 3. So easy to use and design the emails!

    I want to send my subscribers a weekly digest of my posts (probably on Sunday morning). Some weeks I may publish three posts; some weeks six. Seven would probably be the maximum.

    How do I set up the post-notification email to do that? Do I just set the email frequency to once a week (on Sunday) and the number of posts in Automatic Latest Content to 7 (the maximum I’m likely to write for the week)?

    I just want to make sure that it will capture all new posts for the week, but no more.

    Hi Chris,

    Thank you for the feedback! We suggest that you add a “weekly” tag to your posts and configure your post notification email to send once a week + filter your automatic later content (ALC) block using that tag. This way you can add 50 posts but only those that you tag as “weekly” will be sent in the weekly newsletter. Does that make sense?

    Regards,
    MailPoet Team.

    Not quite. I’d be tagging *all* posts as weekly, because I only ever want them to go out weekly.

    So, if I publish 5 posts between Monday and Saturday, I want those 5 posts go out in the email on Sunday. And if I publish 7 posts between Monday and Saturday, I want those 7 posts go out on Sunday.

    Wouldn’t the set-up I suggested above (weekly frequency, ALC set to 7 posts) work for that?

    I guess my question is: What would happen if I set ALC to 7 posts and only published 5 during the week? Would Mailpoet only send out 5 posts (because it knows those are new posts), or would it send out 7 (including 2 from the previous week) because that’s what I’ve specified in ALC?

    I hope that makes sense!

    Chris, MailPoet only sends out the latest posts that were never sent.

    If you specify 5 posts in your ALC settings, but only have 3 new posts, only the 3 will be sent. Makes sense?

    Perfect. That’s how I hoped it would work. Thanks!
