I have a Wordpress website/blog I have recently put together and have used Zapier to automate a post being made on Twitter and Facebook when a new Blog Post is added to the site so people can follow for updates on social media.

I would also like to add the ability for someone to register their email address and receive an email each time a blog post is added, which would ideally contain some of the information from the blog post (eg title and link to the article).

I know I can do this with a paid MailChimp subscription, but is anyone aware of a way I can do this for free? It's going to be a small number of emails to a small number of recipients so limits are not necessarily an issue.

The only free methods I can work out so far would only allow me to send an email saying "There is a new post on xxx.co.uk, click here to access the site".

In the past, a long time ago as do not use much Wordpress any more, there was Mail Poet:

https://www.mailpoet.com/

And this should be it:

It also looks like you could do the same with JetPack here: https://jetpack.com/features/discussion/subscripti...
But you may need to buy something else in JetPack.

Many thanks for the response - I already had Jetpack installed as part of the Wordpress hosting so just needed to set it up.

Excellent! Hopefully that's all that's needed... Good luck, I'd be interested to hear if it works as planned.
