Newsletter module — Complete guide

The Newsletter module is your church's email platform. It lets you collect subscribers, send email campaigns, segment your audience, automate emails with triggers, and track performance — all from one place.

Visitors subscribe from your public church page; you then reach them with newsletters, event reminders and welcome emails, and see how they engage.

In short: grow your list → compose a campaign (or set up an automation) → choose who receives it → send or schedule → follow the results in analytics.

• Where to find it: open your Dashboard and go to Newsletter. The hub shows your key figures and quick actions.
• Permissions: church owners, managers and editors can manage the newsletter.
• Plan limits: your plan may cap the number of subscribers or emails sent — the dashboard and analytics show your usage.
• Respect consent: people opt in from your page, and every email includes an unsubscribe link, so your list stays clean and compliant.

The Subscribers screen lists everyone on your list, with counters by status (subscribed, unsubscribed, bounced). Subscribers come from several sources: your public page, event sign-ups, or a manual import.

• Search & filter by email, name, status or source.
• Export the list as CSV.
• Manage each person — unsubscribe, resubscribe, or delete.

Only subscribed contacts receive your campaigns.

A campaign is an email you send to your subscribers. Click Create campaign and fill the form:

• Audience — send to all subscribers, a saved audience, or a quick filter (e.g. people who opened a previous email).
• Content — write the subject and body (HTML and plain text), per language. You can start from a template.
• Send options — Send now, Schedule for later, or save as a Draft. You can also send yourself a test first.

An audience is a saved segment of your subscribers, defined by filters (status, source, engagement…). Create audiences such as “Active subscribers from the church page” and reuse them when sending a campaign, instead of rebuilding the filters each time.

Automations send emails automatically when something happens. Choose a trigger — for example a subscriber joins, an event is created, or a weekly/monthly digest — then build the steps (the emails to send). Activate it once, and it runs on its own.

A classic example is a welcome email sent automatically when someone subscribes.

The Analytics screen shows how your newsletter performs: subscriber growth, and per-campaign opens, clicks and delivery. Use it to see what resonates and to improve your next campaign.

Your public church page has a Newsletter section with a simple subscribe form. When a visitor enters their email, they're added to your list (and a welcome automation can greet them). Event sign-ups can also feed your list.

• Invite people to subscribe — mention your newsletter from the pulpit and on social media.
• Write a clear subject — it's the first thing subscribers see.
• Send a test to yourself before a big send.
• Use audiences to reach the right people instead of everyone.
• Set up a welcome automation so new subscribers hear from you right away.
• Watch your analytics and keep your list clean by removing hard bounces.

That's it — you're ready to keep your community connected by email.
