# Sending newsletters

Send your articles directly to subscribers' inboxes, with or without publishing them on your website.

Before sending, enable **Newsletter sending** in [Settings → Membership → Newsletters](https://convella.com/site?publicationSettings=newsletters) and make sure your selected newsletter has subscribers. See [Managing members](https://help.convella.com/memberships/managing-members.md) to add or import your audience.

## Choose how to deliver an article

**1. Open the publishing options**

Open a draft from your [Articles page](https://convella.com/articles) and click **Publish**. Review the audience, tags, and social preview.

**2. Choose email delivery**

Under **Delivery**, choose **Publish and email** or **Email only**. Then select a newsletter in the separate **Newsletter** section. The helper text shows how many subscribers will receive it.

**3. Send your article**

Click **Publish & send email** to publish and email the article, or **Send email** to email it without publishing.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Choose **Publish only** to publish without sending an email. **Email only** leaves a draft unpublished and does not unpublish an article that's already live. The email's **View in browser** link appears only for published articles; links in the article content remain unchanged.

## Send a published article

**1. Open the send dialog**

Open the published article and click **Send as newsletter** in the editor.

**2. Review your email**

Choose a **Newsletter** and review the **Subject**, which uses your article title unless you enter a different one. Click **Preview email** to check its appearance.

**3. Send to subscribers**

Click **Send to … subscribers**, or **Send to paid members** for an article restricted to paid members.

### Who receives the email?

Emails go to subscribers of the selected newsletter. For **Paid members only** articles, only subscribers with active paid access receive the email, including members with complimentary access.

## Preview and test

Before sending, click **Preview** in the article editor and switch to **Email**. Choose your newsletter and check the desktop and mobile previews. You can also edit the subject in the desktop email preview.

> [!TIP]
>
> Click **Test** in the email preview, enter an email address, then click **Send** to check the email in an inbox. A test doesn't send the article to your subscriber list.

## After sending

The dialog shows a sending screen while delivery is in progress. When it finishes, the editor shows **Email sent**.

Each article can be sent as a newsletter once. Editing, updating, or unpublishing the web article doesn't change or recall emails already delivered.

To customize your sender details, branding, and email appearance, see [Newsletter settings](https://help.convella.com/newsletters/newsletter-settings.md).
