WordPress New Post Notification To Moosend Email List

The New Post Notification email automation feature (a.k.a Post2Email, RSS-to-Email) in MailOptin is an essential tool for email list builders. This tutorial will teach us how to set up a new post notification to a Moosend list. It will go a long way in saving you stress because you will automate the process.

And so you will be able to make sure you manually create newsletters for every new post you publish on your WordPress site.

MailOptin will automatically send the new post newsletter to your email list subscribers on your behalf for every new post you publish.

Before You Start

Ensure you’ve connected MailOptin with your Moosend account. If you haven’t done that, go ahead and do it before returning to this tutorial.

Steps

First, Click on MailOptin > Emails in your WordPress admin dashboard to open MailOptin’s email overview page.

Next, click the Add New button to open the email creation page.

Locate the card titled Email Automation and click on the Setup Now button found below it.

Next, enter a title that describes your automation…

… then select the type of automation you want to set up.

Next, select a template for this automation. This tells MailOptin what your email should look like.

Here’s how to use your custom email template.

After selecting your template, you will be taken to the email customizer page, where you can configure the automation settings (such as choosing the post type, categories, and tags the post have to belong to), template page, template header, template content and even send a test email to your email address.

Finally, we need to tell MailOptin to send the emails to a Moosend list or segment.

To do this;

First, click on the Settings Panel, scroll down to the Recipient section, and select Moosend under the Select Connection dropdown.

Next, select a specific email list that the new post newsletters that will be sent.

You can also decide to send the newsletters immediately or schedule them to be sent minutes, hours, or days after publication.

So that you know, you can create various automation to be sent out to different email lists based on the categories and tags the post belong to.

You are done setting up your new automation campaign. Remember to activate it by clicking on the activation switch at the top of the page. Finally, click the Save Changes button to save your new automation campaign.

Every time a new post is published, MailOptin will send out an email to your subscribers.

You can also decide to send a daily, weekly, or monthly round-up of published posts instead of immediately after posts are published.

Note:

For this to work without any issue, please ensure all email campaign settings, especially the address and sender part, are filled and saved. Also, please ensure the From Email and Reply-To email addresses are verified senders.
