Newsletter that honors forum permissions

[Will Franco]

We want to send a newsletter to registered members.

Because we have different membership levels, the newsletter needs to honor forum permissions.

Does anyone know how I can do that?

This possibly, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/threadloom-newsletter-for-xenforo-2-x.7096/

Or just use the Activity Summary Email system within XF

Perhaps, it's a featue requets? Any ideas how to hack the activity summary to send as if it were a weekly newsletter?

Actually, the activity summary is not designed to do this unfortunately. But there is a free addon from @Sim that will do what you need,

Shows how important keywords are. I typed "newsletter addon xenforo" and came up SOL. Thanks for sharing!

I didn’t find that one on my initial search either, only a newsletter that does not honor permissions.

Yes, and that logic doesn't work for our use case/newsletter.

The "What's New Digest" logic (daily, weekly, monthly newsletter system) fits us perfectly.

In our experience, newsletters can increase engagement. That's why we want to send a newsletter.

Im sure that it does not work for quite a few sites, many admins have forums that are usergroup protected.

Yes, we operate the same way: free, onetime fee areas (e.g. ebooks and webinar recordings), and subscriptions to access specfic forums.
