This guide shows how to use the Newsletter tool offered by Infomaniak to create and send newsletters, that is, recurring messages to multiple recipients.

Why use Newsletter instead of an Email Service

A newsletter is a periodic communication tool sent by email to a specific group of subscribers. It generally aims to inform, share news, updates, or relevant content on a specific topic and maintain a relationship with a targeted audience.

They can contain articles, announcements, promotions, links to recent content, upcoming events, and sometimes exclusive offers for subscribers. The main goal is to provide interesting and relevant content to spark engagement and maintain subscribers' interest.

Infomaniak Newsletter allows you to schedule and send newsletters to a list of email recipients who are expecting your messages; you thus distribute email marketing campaigns effectively and personally and maintain regular and relevant communication with your customers and subscribers.

The features include the creation of templates, management of the subscriber list, performance analysis and all of this is not directly feasible with a traditional Mail Service. Moreover, the tool has its own interface, autonomous within your browser, completely separate from Mail Infomaniak and does not require a mail application. This means that if you already have contacts to whom you wish to write with their consent, you will need to import them into the tool first.
