How it works

From first signup to clean list, on autopilot.

  1. 01
    Collect Subscribers

    A subscription form your users fill out: share it as a link, embed it on your site, a landing page, or a blog post. Every submission is stored automatically in the Subscribers table (email, subscription status, subscription date). No manual list-building.

  2. 02
    Manage Subscriber Database

    The Subscribers table is your single source of truth for every future campaign: email, Subscribe (Yes/No), subscription date, and unsubscribe reason if given.

  3. 03
    Create Newsletter Template

    Build a reusable email template once (content, branding, images, links, personalized fields, unsubscribe footer) and every campaign pulls from it. Prefer sending through another platform instead? Swap in your own at install.

  4. 04
    Schedule Newsletter Delivery

    Set the send schedule once: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a custom interval. Default is every Tuesday at 9:00 AM. Change it any time; nothing else in the recipe depends on the exact cadence.

  5. 05
    Fetch Active Subscribers

    Each run, the workflow pulls everyone where Subscribe = Yes. Anyone who's opted out is already excluded. You never have to filter the list by hand.

  6. 06
    Send Newsletter

    For each active subscriber: a unique unsubscribe link is generated, the email is personalized, and it sends, through TinyCommand's Send Email node or an external bulk platform, with an optional delay between sends.

  7. 07
    Handle Unsubscribes

    Every newsletter carries a unique unsubscribe link. Click it and you land on a pre-filled form, email already in place, an optional reason field. One click to leave, no support ticket required.

  8. 08
    Update Subscription Status & Auto-Exclude Going Forward

    Submitting the unsubscribe form flips Subscribe to No and stores the reason, no manual intervention. Because every future send only fetches Subscribe = Yes, that person is protected from every campaign after this one, automatically.

What you walk away with
FAQ

Questions about the newsletter recipe.

Is this newsletter tool really free?
Yes. You can set up and run the whole system (signup form, subscriber database, scheduled campaigns, and automatic unsubscribe handling) on the free tier, with no credit card. Newsletters send through your own Gmail, so there's no per-email pricing either.
What do I need to connect?
Just Gmail. Campaigns go out through your own Gmail account, so subscribers see emails from you. Prefer to announce in Slack instead of email? Slack is a drop-in alternative for the delivery step, set up in the install.
How does it handle unsubscribes?
Every newsletter carries a unique unsubscribe link. When someone clicks it, they land on an unsubscribe form with their email pre-filled, optionally pick a reason, and the workflow flips their record to Subscribe = No. Future campaigns only fetch active subscribers, so they're excluded automatically, no list cleanup by hand.
Can I customize the email and the schedule?
Yes. The master template ships with a branded header, content block, CTA button, and unsubscribe footer, all editable. The campaign runs on a schedule you control: daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or a custom interval. Nothing is locked.
Is it good for a small business or creator?
It's built for solo creators, founders, and small teams who want a real newsletter without a Mailchimp seat. Embed the signup form on your site or drop it in a blog post, and every subscriber, send, and unsubscribe is tracked in one place.
