Create a Broadcast
A broadcast is a one-off email sent to your contact list — a newsletter, an announcement, a promotion, or any message you want to send to your audience at a specific moment.
Broadcasts require a Pro plan.
Creating a broadcast
- Go to Broadcasts in your dashboard and click New broadcast.
- Write your email in the editor — use any of the blocks available for emails (headings, text, images, buttons, etc.).
- Set a subject line — the title of your email that recipients see in their inbox.
- Add a preview text — the short line of text visible in email clients before the email is opened. A good preview text increases open rates.
Sending options
Before sending, you have several useful options:
- AI subject line suggestions — click this to get AI-generated subject line ideas based on your email content
- Send a test email — preview your broadcast in your own inbox before sending to the full list
- Now or Schedule — under Sending, choose between the two. Now is selected by default. Pick Schedule and the calendar opens right away to choose a date and time, pre-filled with the next available slot in your timezone (at least 5 minutes from now). A scheduled broadcast can be rescheduled or cancelled anytime before it sends.
- Publish as a blog post — simultaneously publish the email as a blog post at
yourdomain.com/blog/{slug}, turning your newsletter into permanent, searchable content - Exclude contacts in a automation — skip contacts currently active in an automation to avoid over-emailing
Reading your list of emails
Emails you still have to deal with sit at the top of the list: the scheduled ones first, then your drafts. Sent emails come after, whatever their date, since there is nothing left to do with them.
A colored dot before the subject tells you which is which:
| Indicator | What it means |
|---|---|
| Blue dot | Scheduled. The email will go out on its own at the date you picked. |
| Gray dot | Draft. You haven't sent it yet, and nobody has received it. |
| Yellow dot | Unpublished changes. The email is scheduled, but you have edited it since, so what will go out is the previous version. Open it and click Update. |
| No dot | Already sent. |
Hold your mouse over a dot to read its meaning without leaving the list.
Before it sends
The final button spells out the decision you just made, so the last thing you read before an irreversible click is exactly what is about to happen: Send now to 84 contacts, or Schedule for Jul 25 at 9:00 PM.
When you click Send now to ..., TinyPages shows a 6-second countdown before the email goes out. This gives you a brief window to cancel if you change your mind. After the countdown, the broadcast is sent to your entire audience (or the targeted segment you've configured).
