a list is your newsletter audience. each list has its own subdomain, subscribers, and publications.
what you need
- a name for your newsletter
- a subdomain (like newsletter.tinysend.com)
- optional: a description and logo
creating a list
go to your dashboard and click "create new list". you'll be asked for:
- name: what your newsletter is called
- subdomain: where your archive will live (name.tinysend.com)
- description: short intro about your newsletter
- image: optional logo or header image
once you create a list, tinysend automatically sets up your email infrastructure. this takes about 30 seconds. you'll get a dedicated email server for this list.
what happens next
after creation, tinysend automatically:
- creates your newsletter archive at subdomain.tinysend.com
- sets up email infrastructure (postmark server)
- starts warm-up process (see warm-up docs)
- creates subscribe/unsubscribe pages
your list dashboard
the list dashboard shows:
- subscriber counts (active, pending, unsubscribed)
- warm-up progress and daily limits
- recent publications
- tabs for publications, subscribers, and settings
adding subscribers
you can add subscribers in three ways:
- share your subscribe page (subdomain.tinysend.com/subscribe)
- add them manually in the subscribers tab
- import a CSV file
new subscribers get a confirmation email with a link to activate their subscription. this double opt-in helps keep your list clean and prevents spam complaints.
next steps
- customize your list settings (colors, links, etc)
- write your first publication
- start building your subscriber list
