Your First Newsletter

This guide walks you through the entire Linkbrew workflow — from pasting your first URL to sending a newsletter to your subscribers.

Step 1: Submit a Link

1. Go to Submit Link in the sidebar (you land here after login)
2. Paste a URL into the input field — for example, a blog post or article you want to share
3. Click Analyze
4. Linkbrew’s AI fetches the page and extracts the title, summary, image, and category
5. Review the preview card — edit any fields if needed
6. Click Add to Library

Repeat this with 2–3 more links. The more links you add, the richer your newsletter will be.

Tip

You can also paste multiple URLs at once using Multi-Link Input, or import from an RSS feed.

Step 2: Select Links for Your Newsletter

1. Go to Content in the sidebar
2. You’ll see all the links you’ve submitted, organized in a paginated list
3. Use the checkboxes to select the links you want to include in your newsletter
4. Click Open Builder

Step 3: Generate Your Newsletter

1. The Builder page shows your selected links grouped by category on the left, with a preview panel on the right
2. Click Generate Newsletter
3. AI creates a formatted newsletter with an introduction, category sections, link descriptions, and a subject line
4. Review the preview — the content uses your workspace branding (name, color, logo)

If you’re not happy with the result, click Generate Newsletter again to get a fresh version. A confirmation dialog will warn you that this replaces the current content.

Step 4: Review and Publish

1. When the preview looks good, click Ready to Publish
2. You’re taken to the Publish page with the full email preview
3. Review or edit the subject line at the top (a character counter helps you keep it concise)
4. Switch to Edit mode if you want to modify the markdown content directly — the preview updates live as you type
5. Choose your action:
   • Save as Draft — save for later without sending
   • Publish & Send — send to all active subscribers immediately

Tip

Before sending to your real audience, enable Test Mode in Settings → Advanced. Set a test email address, and “Publish & Send” will only deliver to that address. This lets you preview the actual email in your inbox first.

What Happens After Sending

• Each subscriber receives an individual email with your branding and a unique unsubscribe link
• The links in your newsletter are marked as “Published” in your Content library
• The newsletter appears in your Archive for future reference
• Open and click tracking begins — check your Analytics dashboard for performance data
