Newsletter Defaults

Curated newsletters consist of a default set of options; email template, subject, to,from, and integration settings.

Each curated newsletter has a set of default options that will apply to all issues within that newsletter.The default options include:

Email template and design
Subject and sender info
ESP integration
UTM tracking

Note that although the defaults will auto-apply to all new issues created for this newsletter, you can overwrite these settings for any individual issues.

The following steps will show you how to create a new curated newsletter and configure its default settings.

Navigate to the Curated main menu item and click the New Newsletter button.

When you first create a new newsletter, you'll be redirected to the email builder.

Any settings that you alter here will only affect this issue.

To access the full newsletter defaults, exit the builder and click on the Settings button beneath the newsletter name.

Here, you'll be able to configure the default settings. These are settings and configuration that will be automatically copied to each New Issue that you generate.

03. Select an Email Template

Your template determines the design, look, and feel of your emails.

In the Customize tab, go ahead and click on the Template Library button to access our pre-built templates that are helpfully categorized by general email type.

Alternatively, you can upload your own custom HTML email design. Learn more about uploading your own design here.

04. Sender Info and Default Subject Values

Once you have your template or custom design selected, you can configure the default sender info, subject line, and logo simply by clicking on the corresponding areas in the visual email builder:

We recommend setting a default subject and preheader. You will be able to tweak and change this on a per-issue basis.

All of our templates have address footer information, so go ahead and scroll down in the email editor and click on the footer area to fill in your address and social information.

Integration Defaults

In the Integration tab on the left menu, make sure your ESP is selected from the dropdown. Then, click on the blue Configure Defaults button. This will take you to a screen where you can integrate FeedOtter with your email service provider.
