How to Create and Send Post Notification Emails when new posts are published

Using Email Subscribers, you can send post notification emails to your subscribers when new blogs posts are published. This automation not only saves tons of your time but also makes the entire process stress free and simple.

Quick Setup

This is a simple configuration. Once you’ve activated Email Subscribers, the plugin automatically creates one default notification for the existing blog categories. You can either edit the defaults or create a new notification as per your need.
