I am reaching out because I am struggling with one of my newsletters.
Here is my problem:
I have a monthly newsletter, and when someone subscribes, in addition to the automated welcome/confirmation email, I would also like him to receive the latest newsletter.
I did not manage to automate it, apparently for two reasons:
the number of days between two newsletters sent are not the same (sent on the first Tuesday of the month), so it seems tricky to set segments?
as the newsletter obviously changes every month, we can not set it as a template that could be sent automatically to every new subscriber
Is there a way to do it that I did not think about ?
Hi @GuillaumeCC , thanks for posting on this community!
How would you identify the latest newsletter? Because on Brevo, as you know, we use templates both for email campaigns and for automations. So when you choose to send an email, you choose a template. So here the most critical point is to identify the last template you sent to your users.
At the moment I do not know how to identify it, as the template I use is just the « backbone » design without the content… maybe every month I should save as a template the latest edition, and automate the sending of the template ?
you create your desired automations, the ones that send an email on a regular basis.
and then, every XX days or weeks or months, you update this template
This approach is flexible, but requires you to pay a big attention to updating the template at the right time: otherwise, if you don’t think of updating it, the same email would be sent twice, do you see what I mean?
Hello there! I am Elisa and I have a free newsletter. I am following, because I’d be interested in the same feature too.
I understand the workaround @ahudavert suggested, but it requires a lot of work and attention. It would be nice if we could just copy and paste our latest newsletter into the same template every month (workaround anyway, but much time effective), but apparently copying a whole set of blocks doesn’t work.
I’m trying some other way and will keep you updated. Just let us know if you manage to add a new setting to solve this issue!
