Would be nice if Revue was supported by Forem for the newsletter feature. Although I do wonder how effective the Twitter Revue integration is.
I have not configured the newsletter feature for my Forem community yet so im not familiar with how everything works. I was just reading the Mailchimp configuration section of the Forem docs and I just want to make sure I understand this correctly. The admin is only connecting Mailchimp within Forem, but once that's done the newsletter still has to be composed and sent out via Mailchimp? So there's no automation involved, the admin puts together the newsletter and decides exactly what content will be sent out in each individual issue?
I guess to learn more about all of this stuff I would need to start by configuring SMTP settings. Hope I don't break anything cuz the warning at the top of that docs page is a bit intimidating.
that’s pretty easy to do, then invites go out and email confirmations etc but daily digests are configured at a certain rate, I don’t think that’s fully configurable yet.

correct, forem adds happy subscribers to the audience ID using an api key, then you create and send the content.
what’s automated is the daily digest, i haven’t got that working yet tho
I totally did not realize that within Forem email digests are separate and distinct from email newsletters.
