Broadcast: Turn Your Blog Posts into Newsletters

Broadcast is BlogTally's newsletter module that automatically transforms your blog posts into newsletters. Using your blog's RSS feed, it automates email sending to your subscribers whenever a new post is published.

How Does Broadcast Work?

Broadcast leverages your blog's RSS feed to detect new posts and convert them into newsletters. This "RSS to email" system offers several advantages:

  • No duplicate content creation: your blog post is the single source
  • Simple setup: just connect your RSS feed
