A newsletter editorial calendar for Substack writers, Beehiiv newsletters, and email-marketing programs. Track subscriber growth, draft subject-line variants with AI, and auto-publish to email tools in Taskade.
What's Included
- Edition Calendar: Calendar view of upcoming editions with topics, length targets, and CTAs
- Subject Line Agent: AI agent drafts 5-10 subject line variants per edition; surface highest-performing patterns from past sends
- Subscriber Database: Growth tracking by source, engagement scoring, and unsubscribe analysis
- Auto-Publish: Approved editions auto-publish to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, Substack, or Beehiiv at send time
- Engagement Dashboard: Open rate, click rate, reply rate per edition with trend analysis
Why This Template Wins
- Subject lines actually optimize: Most newsletter writers reuse the same subject pattern until open rates die. The agent surfaces patterns that worked, drafts new variants, and the writer picks. Open rates lift 15-30%
- Subscriber growth analyzed by source: Which referral source brought subscribers who read vs subscribers who unsubscribe in week 2? The dashboard answers — your acquisition spend reallocates to sources that bring engaged readers
- Edition production stays consistent: When the writer is sick or busy, the next-edition draft is already in the pipeline. Newsletter consistency drives subscriber growth more than any single edition
