With the Newsletter Ready Chrome extension, you can draft an issue straight from the page you have open. It also works for pages you haven't added as a source, or for industry news you want to share.

Install

  1. Open the Newsletter Ready page in the Chrome Web Store (you can also get there from the NEW banner on our home page).
  2. Click "Add to Chrome".
  3. Pin Newsletter Ready from the puzzle icon in the toolbar so it's always one click away.

How to use it

Your status When you click the button
Logged in to newsletterready.com The draft is saved to the newsletter you choose and opens in a new tab. If you have several, pick where to save it
Not logged in You get a trial draft right in the popup (it isn't saved). If you like it, sign up free
  1. Open the blog post or news page you want to turn into an issue.
  2. Click the extension, then "Make a newsletter from this page".
  3. The draft is ready in 30–60 seconds. Keep the popup open while it works.
  4. Review and edit it in the dashboard, then approve to send. Nothing is sent until you approve.

What is sent

Only when you click the button, the page's URL, title and text are sent to Newsletter Ready and used to write the draft. The extension does not read your browsing history or other tabs.

Troubleshooting

  • "This page can't be read": the extension doesn't work on Chrome settings or Web Store pages. Try a blog post or news page.
  • "Too little text": open the article itself rather than a list page.
  • It shows a trial even though you're logged in: open newsletterready.com, log in again, then try once more.
  • Each newsletter can create up to 10 drafts a day, one per minute (the same limits as the "Create draft" button in the dashboard).
