Schedule Automatic Newsletters in Sparkforge Communities

Communities Newsletters send recurring digests to members on whatever cadence fits your group. Set the frequency, time, day, and timezone, and Sparkforge handles the rest. Newsletters are off by default until a Group Owner or Admin enables them.

What members see in a digest

• Active threads: the last thread a member interacted with plus the freshest replies.
• Top posts from public channels so members don't miss trending content.
• Posts from followed members: updates from creators they follow.
• Upcoming events: the most relevant events on the calendar.
• Clickable cards: each item links back to the source post, thread, or event.
• Permissions are respected. Members only see content they're allowed to access.

Scheduling options

Daily

Send every day at a fixed time and timezone. Good fit for highly active communities. Example: daily at 8:00 AM New York time.

Weekly or bi-weekly

Pick specific day(s), a time, and a timezone. Good for weekly digests or bi-weekly recaps. Example: every Tuesday at 10:00 AM London time.

Monthly

Pick a date (1-27 or last day of the month), a time, and a timezone. Good for end-of-month summaries. Example: the 1st of every month at 9:00 AM IST.
