Inviting and importing subscribers

On Noosletter, subscribers only join by their own choice. You can't add anyone to your list yourself. You invite them, and they're subscribed once they accept.

This keeps your list full of people who want your emails, which keeps your spam reports low and your emails out of spam folders. It's also what makes moving a list to us lawful under UK and EU privacy rules.

Ways to invite

• Type or paste addresses into the invite window on Subscribers.
• Upload a CSV, up to 1,000 rows, once a day.
• Invite subscribers from another of your newsletters.
• The API, an inbound webhook or Zapier.

Every route sends the same invite email, with a button to accept. Each address is checked first (see How we check email addresses), so bad addresses never get an invite.

Moving from another platform

Export your list from Mailchimp, beehiiv, Substack or Buttondown and upload the CSV as it is. We find the email column and ignore the rest. Statuses, tags and groups from the old platform aren't brought over, and bounced or cleaned addresses are caught by the checks.

You can bring your old posts too, with Import posts on Emails. They arrive as private web pages, dated by when you first published them, and you choose when to make them public. Imported posts are never sent, and they don't count toward streaks or milestones.

Invite rules

• You can send 1,000 invites a day across your whole workspace.
• One address can be invited to one newsletter up to 3 times, at least 7 days apart.
• An invite lasts 30 days.
• The Invited list on Subscribers shows each invite and whether it was delivered.
• Invited people never count as subscribers until they accept.

When someone leaves

A subscriber who unsubscribes, or who you remove, leaves your list completely. They can't be invited to that newsletter again. Only they can choose to rejoin.

Signups from your page and forms

Someone who signs up on your newsletter page or a form confirms by email first. An unconfirmed signup expires after 7 days. Unconfirmed signups never get your emails.

After subscribing, readers are offered up to 5 newsletters you recommend. See How newsletter points and rankings work for how recommendations are chosen.
