How to Use GoHighLevel Communities Automatic Newsletters
If you manage online communities in GoHighLevel alongside tools like ClickUp for task tracking, you can save time by automating your member updates. This guide explains step by step how to configure, customize, and manage automatic newsletters inside communities so you can keep members informed without manual effort.
The Communities Automatic Newsletters feature in GoHighLevel sends regular email digests of new posts and comments to subscribed members. You control who receives them, how often they are sent, and what type of content is included.
What Are GoHighLevel Communities Automatic Newsletters?
Automatic newsletters in GoHighLevel are scheduled email digests that summarize new activity from your community. They help your members stay engaged without needing to log in frequently.
Key characteristics of these newsletters include:
- Sent only to members who have subscribed to community emails
- Summarize new posts, comments, and discussions
- Use a digest format rather than individual email notifications
- Are generated and sent automatically based on your settings
This feature is designed for community managers who want consistent communication with minimal manual work.
Where to Find Automatic Newsletters in GoHighLevel
You manage community newsletters from within each specific community in GoHighLevel. The settings are scoped per community, so you can configure different rules for different groups.
- Open your Communities area in GoHighLevel.
- Select the community you want to manage.
- Look for the Automatic Newsletters or newsletter-related settings panel within the community configuration area.
Each community can have its own schedule and content rules, providing flexibility across your spaces.
How Automatic Newsletters Work in GoHighLevel
Within a community, newsletters are generated based on the latest activity since the last digest. The system compiles:
- New posts published in the community
- New comments on existing posts
- Other supported content types surfaced by the community feed
The newsletter is then automatically emailed to subscribed members according to the sending schedule you define.
Who Receives GoHighLevel Community Newsletters
Only members who have opted into community emails will receive the automated digest. This includes:
- Members who have joined the community and enabled email notifications
- Users whose email address is valid and not unsubscribed from your communications
Members who unsubscribe or disable email updates will not receive these digests.
Frequency and Timing of GoHighLevel Newsletters
In your community settings, you define how often the system sends newsletters. The platform then compiles content created since the last send and delivers it to subscribers. Timing options can include daily or other recurring cadences, depending on your account configuration.
How to Configure GoHighLevel Communities Automatic Newsletters
Follow these steps to configure the automatic newsletters for a given community:
- Open the community you want to configure from your GoHighLevel account.
- Access newsletter settings within the community settings panel.
- Enable automatic newsletters if there is a toggle or activation option.
- Choose sending frequency, such as daily, or another recurring option offered in your interface.
- Select which content types should be included (for example, posts, comments, or other updates if available).
- Save your settings so the schedule becomes active.
After saving, the system will start generating digests based on your rules and will send them to all subscribed community members.
Customizing Newsletter Content in GoHighLevel Communities
The exact customization options depend on your version and current GoHighLevel interface, but typical controls may include:
- Which types of activity are included in the digest
- The period of time covered by each newsletter
- Basic formatting or branding inherited from your global email settings
Because newsletters are generated automatically, the main focus is on choosing relevant community activity instead of designing each email from scratch.
Best Practices for GoHighLevel Newsletter Settings
When configuring your communities newsletters, consider the following best practices:
- Avoid over-sending: Choose a frequency that matches your community’s activity level. Very active communities might suit daily digests, while slower groups may perform better with less frequent updates.
- Keep content relevant: Include the most meaningful community activity so newsletters remain valuable and are less likely to be ignored.
- Monitor engagement: Track opens, clicks, and unsubscribes through your general GoHighLevel reporting tools and adjust settings if engagement drops.
Managing Subscribers and Email Preferences in GoHighLevel
Member subscription settings determine who receives the automatic newsletters. As a community manager, you should understand how these preferences work:
- Members can subscribe or unsubscribe from community emails.
- Unsubscribed members will not receive the digest, even if they remain part of the community.
- Global email opt-out rules still apply, in line with email compliance best practices.
Encourage members to keep their community email preferences enabled if they want to stay updated without checking the platform every day.
Troubleshooting GoHighLevel Community Newsletters
If newsletters are not sending as expected, review the following points:
- Check if automatic newsletters are enabled in the community settings.
- Verify the schedule to make sure the send date and time have passed.
- Confirm member subscription status for users who report not receiving updates.
- Review your email sending settings and domain configuration at the account level, since these affect all outgoing messages.
If issues persist, consult the official feature documentation at GoHighLevel Communities Automatic Newsletters Help or open a support ticket.
