# Newsletter settings

Customize your newsletters' sender details, content, and design to match your brand.

Open [Settings → Membership → Newsletters](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=newsletters) to get started.

## 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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Newsletter sending is unavailable when subscription access is set to **Nobody**. Update [Membership → Access](https://help.convella.com/memberships/membership-setup.md#who-can-subscribe) 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.

## Settings

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.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Your sender address doesn't create an inbox. Use **Reply-to email** to receive readers' replies at an address you manage.

### Custom sending domain

To send from your own domain, click **Manage** beside **Custom sending domain**.

**1. Connect your website domain**

First [connect a custom domain](https://help.convella.com/website/domain.md) to your website. If setup is incomplete, click **Finish domain setup** and follow the prompts.

**2. Set up email sending**

Click **Set up sending domain** and follow the guided DNS setup. Your sender address will be `newsletter@yourdomain.com`.

**3. Wait for verification**

While verification is pending, the dialog shows **Verifying email authentication and secure tracking**. When ready, it shows **Sending from** followed by your sender address.

> [!NOTE]
>
> You can't send newsletters while custom sending-domain verification is pending. Use **Finish email setup** to complete it, or **Use the default sender** to resume sending with your Convella address.

### Member settings

Enable **Subscribe new members on signup** to automatically subscribe new members to this newsletter. Manage individual subscriptions from [Members](https://help.convella.com/memberships/managing-members.md).

## Content

Under the **Content** tab, choose what appears in your emails:

* **Header image** — Upload an image and choose whether to show it. The recommended size is **1200 × 600 pixels**.
* **Branding** — Show or hide your publication icon, publication title, and newsletter name.
* **Article title** — Show or hide the article title in the email body.
* **Email footer** — Add custom text at the bottom of your emails.
