I wish we could embed the newsletter as an html, then send them right away to my email list without getting/paying for an email management system. And that publish-as-a-website option looks cool.

[@lodeleaf6401]

If you have a wordpress website, you can use the free plugin called "the newsletter" which basically hosts your own email management system on that wordpress site. The free version is very basic, but it's free as in free, and you own the data. There is a paid version with bells and whistles but you don't need it. The free version allows you to embed HTML directly in the email.

[@christeenb7040]

me too, I didn't see that as an option correct?

Why can’t You convert your documents from pdf to html. Just google convert pdf or other format to html?

[@TeamRonDi]

Your only option to send as images is to export it as a JPG or PNG and paste that/those image(s) into your email. Then each image can have one link.

[@Pimpi1980g]

This was very helpfull. Thank you very much. You said at the end for mobile view. What to use if you want to make newsletter so it can look good on desktop and mobile? Or it will be appliable for both?

[@TeamRonDi]

It's important to understand that Canva will only let you create visuals for your newsletter, not yet full emails. So if you create visuals or flat images, these should be responsive when you paste them into your emails.

[@Pimpi1980g]

@@TeamRonDi I understand. I’ll try playing. Thank you

Hello! I was wondering how to go about making a Desktop and a Mobile version of my email newsletter on Canva?

[@TeamRonDi]

If you use the new website feature to create it, the content will adapt to both mobile and desktop screens. Also if you use an email management software like Mailchimp the content will also be responsive.

[@ReneeHoraney]

Does it integrate with ConertKit too, or just MailChimp?

[@TeamRonDi]

The other way would be to export the entire thing as a .png or .jpg and paste that into your email, which I don’t recommend because you loose the ability to add multiple links.

[@sanderswhiting9784]

Connecting to Mailchimp is problematic for MacBook Air 2022. Once in design editor there are no 3 dots in the upper right corner to select Mailchimp though all the tutorials say there are. A fellow on another site reported this problem and overcame it but didn't say how.

[@TeamRonDi]

Hey there 👋 Canva redesigned the "Share" button and the features have been shuffled there. Here's how to find it: Click on the " *Share* " button, once you are done editing your design Select "... More" at the bottom of that menu Scroll down and locate the Mailchimp button Let me know if you can find it 😉

[@nataliebuckey6368]

Hi Ronnie & Diana, thank you so much for all of your wonderful tutorials!! I would like to change our team's current newsletter that we were using Outlook and now we want to step up our game and use a Canva Template; however, we want to use a short 2-3 minute video within the newsletter. Could you give us some advice on how we could do that? Do we need mail chimp or another service in order to do that?

[@TeamRonDi]

Hi Natalie, yes. You'll need a third party email management system, because right now Canva doesn't allow you to manage nor send these emails. What you can do, though, is to design the emails in Canva. We use Mailchimp which integrates nicely with Canva. Like I show in the video. Hope this answers your question 😁

[@marlenaeaster5145]

Great content, I was lost on the email link to publish as a website. What stage would I copy the link? Thanks in advance

[@TeamRonDi]

Once you publish your design as a website, You'll see a button to easily copy your website's link. Otherwise, when you are visiting the website, simply copy the URL and that's what you need to share for people to get to your website.

[@maturebeautywithgloria]

All I did was insert the html code in the correct area while creating the email. Any idea why it would not show up once sent? I checked it on desktop and mobile.

[@sugilitesaber]

This is great! But how do we publish a newsletter that contains links AND video clips? The only option is choosing MP4 video, but that just turns it into a video newsletter without clickable links or videos. I'm super frustrated. I love Canva for all it's creativity- but this is my first time creating a newsletter (spent over 18 hours on it + troubleshooting hours) and I had no idea it would be this complicated to publish a newsletter! Basically, I'm stuck with pasting a link to the newsletter as a composed message I email out to readers! That doesn't sound right. ?

[@TeamRonDi]

The thing is if you don’t have Mailchimp or a similar email management platform you’ll be stuck to what you are describing. Canva will help you design your newsletters, not send them.

You could download it as a PNG and upload that flat image in your email. In that case you only add one link. If you need several links, then break it down into several PNGs.
