Streamline Your Newsletter Creation By Setting Your Default Subject Line
Seth with Curated, here.
Did you know that you can customize the default subject line for each new newsletter issue you create in Curated? In Curated, the subject line is known as the “Issue Title”. Customizing your default issue title to match your subject line style is a great way to streamline your newsletter creation process.
Here’s how to do this:
Now whenever you create a new issue in Curated, the issue title will be the default that you’ve set.
By default, the issue title template is “Issue %%issue_number%%”. The text surrounded by the % sign is code that translates to the issue number your newsletter is on once you create a new issue. Another piece of code that you can use is “%%issue_date%%”, which translates to the due date for the issue. For example, if you created an issue with “%%issue_date%%” as the issue title and a due date of September 1st, 2022, the issue title would update to “Sept 1 2022”.
If you have any questions about this, let me know!

Use Curated’s Email Notifications To Stay On Top Of Your Newsletter
Hey, everyone. Seth with Curated Success here.
It’s important to stay on top of your newsletter creation process and stay up-to-date on your newsletter’s key statistics, but it can be challenging to consistently visit Curated to do that. With Curated’s email notifications, you can have this information delivered straight to your inbox.
Select which email notifications you want to receive by logging into your Curated account, clicking the profile picture icon at the top right of the page to open a drop-down, and clicking My profile. On this page, you can scroll down to “Email notification preferences” to choose what type of notifications you want to receive and for which of your publications.
Here’s a breakdown of what each notification email includes:
Daily Summary
This brief email gives you a look at
This is a great way for you to receive a daily reminder of how your newsletter is performing. It’s also great for teams that work on a newsletter as members can see how many links have been collected each day.
Issue Publishing Confirmation
This simple email acts as a confirmation that your scheduled issue has successfully been published. This is great for newsletter creators that schedule their issues to send a few days out so that they can automatically get a confirmation that their issue has been published successfully.
Issue Reminders
These notifications serve as reminders for when your next issue is due, which is based on the due date that you assign an issue when you create it in Curated. These notifications will hit your inbox 3 days before the due date and again 1 day before the due date. The notifications include
Note: If you haven’t scheduled an issue to send in Curated and the due date and time arrives, the issue will not send. An issue will only send after it’s been officially scheduled.
You can use these notifications in whatever combination will help you be most productive in your newsletter creation process.
If you have any questions about these notifications, let me know.

Link To A Specific Item From A Previous Issue
Hey, everyone. Seth with Curated Success here.
You can link back to previous content that you’ve published in your Curated newsletter in a few different ways. One way that we’ve mentioned before is by linking to an archive search on your newsletter’s site so readers can easily read content you’ve created about a certain topic. But, if you want to link to a specific item from a past issue, an archive search might be a bit too broad.
With Curated, you can easily link to a specific item from a past issue by using a direct link. Here’s how:
You can use this feature to share direct links to your content whenever it feels appropriate.
For example, you can share this link when the content is applicable to a discussion happening on social media, which is a great way to get traffic for your newsletter, or you can use it to refer back to a specific item in a new issue of your newsletter (like we did with the archive search link at the beginning of this segment).
If you have any questions about this functionality, let me know!
Psst! If you can’t find that item or issue, you can always use the search bar at the top right of your publication site.
