Anyone got around the fact Substack doesn't have an API?
Substack has no API so on my website the CTA takes them to another page which could hurt conversions when visitors has to wait for a paid to load
I've emailed them twice, it is not on their roadmap right now
Kinda sucks because I feel like they are really good for getting started with paid newsletters

Indeed suck that Substack don't have any integration or API. I could bet they are integrated with Zapier, but once I checked I was shocked 😮
You're telling me.
Was so underwhelmed
Pretty crazy this still doesn't exist. Seems like a great way for Substack to build a bigger community, and increase Substack functionality without creating everything in house.
Hey Jay! If you're interested in a newsletter tool with an API, I might just have the thing for you.
You guys need few more events, like "remove subscriber" or "unsubscribe". So we can create useful automation and remove fake/disposable emails subscribing to newsletters.
Mailchimp have that, and you can build powerful automation around that.
Thanks for sharing, I'm looking for a tool that also makes it easy to get started with paid newsletters.
Another thing Substack does really well is the <share> buttons and other CTAs which are easy to dot around the newsletter
