Newsletter & Mailing Lists

stub #19 · Cross-cutting

Periodicals · subscriber management · multi-channel distribution

Why it exists: An institution speaks regularly to its constituency — monthly newsletters, festival announcements, annual reports, condolence circulars, akhanda-bhajana invitations. These differ from transactional messages (handled by Communications Service): they're periodical, editorial, opt-in, and need subscriber management with double-opt-in for compliance. Same delivery channels — email, postal, WhatsApp — but a different workflow stack on top: editorial calendars, drafts, approvals, archives.
