Recurring newsletters are automated email campaigns that are sent on a regular schedule (specific days of the week at a selected time) without requiring you to manually create and send each one. Once set up, they pull in fresh content and use predefined templates, ensuring your audience receives consistent, timely communication while reducing ongoing work for your team.
