Using a Headless CMS to send email newsletter
I'm exploring if I can use a Headless CMS to manage the content for a regular email newsletter. I havn't discovered any tools that will allow me to quickly build this out.
Keen to know if anyone has tried to build this? My ideal process:
- Create new post in Headless CMS such as Sanity to be published on certain date.
- Content is compiled into a HTML newsletter automatically (an email builder which allows you to output certain content where you want it including title , body etc would be perfect).
- Email is scheduled for send and ultimately sent.
Note: A Headless CMS allows you to 'decoupled from the presentation layer' meaning that the content is front-end agnostic, meaning that your content is raw and can be published anywhere, through any framework.

RSS to email might be a similar solution to this. Lots of email service providers have RSS to email, including email builders to design the emails. I think a lot of newsletters that publish to a blog first and then email out the contents use RSS to email, I guess in your case there is just no blog.
