Additional Updates to the Newsletter Module (2024):

There are a few great new features in the Tendenci Newsletter module!

First, it is easiest to clone existing newsletters and swap out certain graphics and contents then it is to build one from scratch. To do this, navigate to the newsletter you'd like to copy and click on it, then in your admin "Newsletters" dropdown menu, select "Clone newsletter"

Then update relevant details and you are well on your way to sending your updated newsletter!

Now you can also schedule Newsletters to be sent at certain dates/times, and also make them recurring if the same newsletter contents should be repeated at regular intervals.
