Sending the newsletter
TinyEmails designs the newsletter; it doesn't send it, and a workflow can't send a TinyEmails design. To send it:
- Keep your subscribers in a TinyTables table, with a column for each
{{field}}the design uses (for examplesubscriber_name) - In TinyCampaigns, pick this design and the subscribers table
- Each
{{field}}fills from that subscriber's row when the campaign sends

Customization tips
| Tip | Details |
|---|---|
| Keep it scannable | Use short excerpts (2-3 sentences max) with clear "Read more" links |
| Consistent schedule | Send on the same day/time to build reader expectations |
| Personalize | Use {{subscriber_name}} in the greeting; personalized emails get higher open rates |
| Mobile first | The 3-column article grid stacks to single column on mobile; make sure each article card looks good standalone |
| Preheader text | Set the preheader to a compelling summary; it appears next to the subject line in inbox previews |
Tip
The most effective newsletters have one clear primary CTA. Don't bury it: put it above the fold (in the hero or featured section) and repeat it at the bottom.
