Enable newsletters

Turn on Newsletter sending to enable email delivery. If you don’t have a newsletter yet, Convella creates one using your website’s name.
Newsletter sending is unavailable when subscription access is set to Nobody. Update Membership → Access first.
Click Edit beside a newsletter to customize it. To create another, click Add newsletter, enter a name and description, and click Create newsletter. If you already have subscribers, you can choose whether to subscribe them to the new newsletter.

The Settings tab controls your newsletter’s identity and subscriptions.

Name and description

  • Newsletter name — The name readers see when choosing newsletters and managing their preferences.
  • Description — A short explanation of what readers can expect.

Email information

  • Sender email — The address your emails come from. This is shown for reference; all newsletters on your website share it.
  • Sender name — The name displayed in recipients’ inboxes.
  • Reply-to email — Where readers’ replies are delivered. Leave it blank to use your account email.
If you enter a different reply-to address, click Save, then follow the confirmation link sent to that address. Until it’s confirmed, replies use your account email.
Your sender address doesn’t create an inbox. Use Reply-to email to receive readers’ replies at an address you manage.
