Create your first curated issue

When you create a new curated newsletter, FeedOtter will auto-create the first Issue for you.

You can either edit this issue or start a new one.

In the email editor, make sure you're in the Content tab on the left sidebar menu, and then click on the Add Content button. This will open a panel displaying the available content from your content sources.

When you select a source, content from that source will appear below the dropdown. Click on any of the boxes to add the content to your newsletter.

Note: If you do not have any sources, you can click the Add Source or Manage links to do so, then follow the steps within this tutorial. Items you have bookmarked will appear in the Content Queue source.

Preview and Edit Email Content

In the preview window, you'll be able to see the content as it will appear in your email. To edit, follow the steps below:

Re-ordering and Editing Post Content

You can re-order your selected posts by hovering over the content block and dragging the MOVE icon up and down the list of posts.

Edit Post Info

You can also edit the text, image, and call-to-action details by hovering over a post and clicking on the pencil icon.

Data that is typically editable includes:

  • Title

  • CTA Text

  • Author

  • URL

  • Description HTML

  • Image (upload a replacement)

Note: Editable fields vary depending on which template you are using.

How to Edit Your Newsletter Fields (Non-Content Sources)

Many more complex email templates include elements such as an introductory text section, headings, etc.

To edit these areas, make sure you're in the Customize area of the email editor, then simply click to select the section you want to edit.

Edit Subject Line & Sender Info (If Necessary)

In the Customize area of the email editor, you can click on the subject line area to edit the subject line, preheader text, and sender info as needed.
