Is it possible to send a newsletter multiple times, ideally programmatically - as in a "standard" welcome "new members" newsletter and/or a series of "new member" newsletters?
It can either be a newsletter created within the Newsletter Studio section itself, or one created within the Umbraco Content section.
I suspected i would need to create a solution to handle it - but the main question is whether it's possible to resend a newsletter.
If, for example, a "welcome new members" newsletter was sent each Friday - could that newsletter be the same one each time or would I need to create a new one each week? I assume I could copy a master newsletter via code?
It's possible that there may be a series of "new member" newsletters which introduce them to the product, show them how to use the website, etc. So it would be good to have "newsletter 1", "newsletter 2", etc and be able to send them out in sequence to new members, one per week.
I'm not sure if this is something that we can use Newsletter Studio for.
As well as all of the above, there would also be "normal" newsletters.
What you are looking for is more of a "transactional email editor" which Newsletter Studio is not at the moment. I guess its possible to resend the newsletter but I'm not seeing how you would do this to just one subscriber? That would mean that you have to have a mailinglist with just that subscriber in it.
If you really need to have the transactional message (welcome message) as a Newsletter I would probably have my own custom code getting the content of that newsletter and sending it using my own logic.
We have had requests and about being able to handle transactional emails with newsletter studio but we have not moved forward in creating any solution for this.
What you're talking about to send in sequences some kind of marketing automation-thing that we don't have built in and we're not planing to add this.
Of course - you could probably build thing that would make stuff work as you are describing but that would be something totally custom and you would need to trigger every send out with your own code.
I don't have a detailed spec of requirements, but I think the general idea is to send a sequence of "newsletters" to new subscribers - one per week (for example).
The number of people in the mailing list would depend on how many new members there were that week.
Of course, having these new subscriber newsletters in the same system as the normal newsletters would make it simpler for the site owner. However, maybe this is merging two different things and making it all more complicated than it needs to be!
I think that we are talking about three things here right?
Campaign newsletters - bulk sent (like today)
Marketing automation - With individual sequences
Transaction emails - Like (welcome, receipts, password recovery, notifications etc).
Today Newsletter Studio is all about the first of these, I don't think that the product will move into sequences - there are a lot of other tools out there that are really good with this, often a part of a CRM - have you tried AgileCRM for example?
I can see the benefit of adding transactional emails since this would benefit from the same editor etc. We will see in the future but as for now Newsletter Studio is focused on bulk email campaigns.

Hi!
There is no built in feature for this but you could build your own solution in the code that handles the sign up to the mailing list.
