Questions, answered
Will it send the newsletter without me reviewing it?
Never. The campaign is saved as a draft in Mailchimp — only you can schedule or send it. Nothing goes to your subscribers without your action.
What if there was not much content published this week?
It will still create a draft with what is there and note in the Slack message that content was light — useful for spotting gaps in your publishing schedule.
Can it use my existing email template and brand voice?
Yes. It works from the Mailchimp template you specify, so your fonts, colours, and layout are already in place. You can also give WebRun a short style guide to match your tone.
