Recorded August 2026Relatable changes fast — what you see in the app may be a little ahead of this video. The written steps below stay current.

Design one email, send it to an entire sphere, and see how many people opened and clicked.

Why it matters

Not every update needs to be personal. Sometimes you have one piece of news for a whole group: an announcement to your client base, a recap for an alumni sphere, a year-end note to everyone who supported you. A newsletter is built for that — one design, sent once, with the stats to show whether it landed.

It also keeps you out of trouble. Unsubscribes and bounces are handled automatically, so you're not the one tracking who asked to stop hearing from you.

How it works

You build the email once in a drag-and-drop editor, pick spheres (and any individual people) as your audience, and send a test to yourself before it goes out. Relatable tracks opens and clicks in aggregate and handles the unsubscribe link and suppression list on its own — anyone who unsubscribed or bounced on a past campaign is automatically left off the next one.

How to use it

  1. On the web: open the Messages page, go to the Newsletters tab, and start a new campaign.2. Pick a starting template, then build the content: text, images, and merge tags like {{first_name}} for light personalization.
  2. Choose your audience: whole spheres, individually searched people, or both. Relatable shows you a live recipient count as you build the list.
  3. Send a test to yourself and check how it looks before it's real.
  4. Send now, or schedule it for a specific date and time.
  5. Come back to the campaign afterward to see open and click rates.

Good to know

  • Limits: 5,000 recipients per campaign, 10 campaigns per month.
  • Every newsletter sends from your Relatable address, not your personal inbox, so replies won't land in your everyday email.
  • A required unsubscribe link is built into every send. You can't turn it off.
  • For a message that should feel personal and one-to-one even when it's going to many people, use Send one email to fifty people, personalized instead.
