Workflow
Automated Newsletter Assembly and Send
Assemble and send your newsletter automatically. OpenClaw pulls content, writes summaries with AI, formats the template, and publishes on schedule.
>_Done For You SetupWithout automation
The problem
A weekly newsletter should take 30 minutes. Instead it takes 3 hours. Finding content, writing summaries, formatting the template, scheduling the send, checking every link. It is always the first thing to skip when the week gets busy, and then your audience forgets you exist. Most company newsletters die within 3 months because the production overhead is just too high to sustain alongside everything else.

With OpenClaw
What changes
OpenClaw assembles your newsletter automatically every week: pulls from your sources, writes AI summaries, formats the email template, and queues it for send. Your job is to review once and approve, or skip the review entirely and let it fly on schedule.
Tell OpenClaw: 'Every Thursday at 9am, pull new posts from my blog RSS and Notion content list, write 3-sentence summaries for each, assemble them into my Mailchimp template, and send me a Slack preview link.'
Integrations
What you will need
This workflow connects Mailchimp, OpenAI, Notion, Google Sheets, and Slack. Most of these have pre-built skills on ClawHub that install in under a minute. If you are already using these tools, you are halfway to having this workflow live.
OpenClaw runs on your own VPS ($5-15/month) and connects to these services via their APIs. You bring your own API keys.
