An assistant that understands your newsletter workflow

Newsletter Glue publishes WordPress posts as newsletters by sending them through your existing ESP, such as Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, or Campaign Monitor. The integration choice lives under newsletter_glue_settings, with the connected list IDs stored per ESP. Each newsletter post stores its glue metadata in wp_postmeta under keys like _ng_subject, _ng_preheader, _ng_list_id, and _ng_test_recipients.

SleekAI maps the Newsletter Glue settings and the per-post glue metadata into the chatbot's system message. An editor can ask which ESP is connected, which list is selected on the current draft, what the configured subject line and preheader are, and when the last newsletter was actually sent. The bot replies with the values from postmeta and the options table, not from a generic walkthrough of the plugin.

Display conditions confine the bot to wp-admin and the editor-and-up roles, so the newsletter helper never appears on the public site. Conversation logs include the newsletter post ID, which makes it easy to audit the bot's suggestions during the editorial review.

Workflow

How SleekAI plugs into Newsletter Glue

1

Map the glue settings

Use the Wizard to map newsletter_glue_settings into named variables. The chatbot's system message then knows the active ESP, the connected list IDs, and the default tags configured for sends.

2

Add per-post meta

Map _ng_subject, _ng_preheader, _ng_list_id, and _ng_test_recipients from postmeta on the current draft. The bot can now answer per-post pre-publish questions in plain language.

3

Scope the widget

Restrict display conditions to wp-admin URLs and the editor and administrator roles, so the assistant only appears inside the editorial workflow, never on the public site.

4

Review the logs

Open the conversation log to see what editors ask the bot. Recurring questions about cadence or subject lines usually surface a missing checklist item in the editorial template.

Features

What SleekAI gives you for Newsletter Glue

ESP-aware answers

The system message includes the active ESP integration and the list IDs configured for it. The bot can confirm whether a newsletter is going to the right Mailchimp audience or a specific ConvertKit list without you opening the Newsletter Glue panel.

Per-post context

Map the _ng_ postmeta fields and the bot can quote the subject, preheader, list, and test recipients on the current draft, so an editor can fix a copy issue or verify the send target before publishing.

Send history

Map past newsletter posts as a list with their send dates and the bot can answer questions like when did we last send and what was its subject. That keeps editorial cadence visible without leaving the post editor.

Use cases

Where editors use SleekAI for Newsletter Glue

Pre-publish checklist

Editors ask the bot which list, subject, and preheader are set on the current draft, so common pre-publish mistakes are caught before the newsletter goes out the door.

Cadence visibility

Asking the bot when the last newsletter was sent prevents accidental double sends and helps editors maintain a steady weekly cadence without opening past posts.

Past performance check

When test recipients and the ESP report URL are mapped in, the bot can remind editors what the previous open rate was, which informs the subject-line choices on the new draft.

The bigger picture

Why workflow-aware AI matters for newsletter editors

Newsletter Glue's whole reason for existing is that newsletters and blog posts share so much that it is silly to maintain them in separate tools. The Gutenberg editor becomes the place where the newsletter is written, edited, scheduled, and sent. The catch is that the metadata that turns a normal post into a newsletter, like the ESP, the list ID, the subject, the preheader, and the test recipients, lives in _ng_ postmeta and in plugin options.

A generic chatbot cannot read either, which means an editor still has to click through the Newsletter Glue side panel and the ESP dashboard to verify the same handful of fields before every send. SleekAI plugs into that workflow by mapping the glue settings and the per-post meta into the chatbot's prompt. The editor gets a pre-publish helper that knows exactly which list, subject, and preheader are set on the current draft, when the last newsletter was sent, and how it performed, all inside the same admin screen where the post is being written.

Questions

Common questions about SleekAI for Newsletter Glue

Yes. SleekAI maps the newsletter_glue_settings option into named variables in the chatbot's system message. The bot can confirm the active ESP integration, the connected list IDs, and any default tags configured for sends, all at request time without sync.

Yes. The Wizard maps postmeta keys by name. Add _ng_subject, _ng_preheader, _ng_list_id, _ng_test_recipients, and any custom glue meta, and the bot will answer per-post questions about the draft an editor is currently working on.

You need an account with at least one supported provider. SleekAI works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and OpenRouter, so editors can use a fast cheap model for pre-publish checks and a stronger one for drafting copy variants under the same chatbot. Usage stays with your provider.

Not usually. Newsletter Glue is an editorial tool. Set display conditions to wp-admin URLs and the editor and administrator roles, so only the people drafting newsletters see the helper. Front-end bots can run separately on public pages with different data sources.

Yes. With the previous newsletter open rates and the brand voice mapped into the prompt, the model can draft three or four subject-line variants for the current post. The editor picks one and the bot's suggestions are part of the conversation log.

Yes. Newsletter Glue stores its ESP-agnostic settings under one option key and per-ESP configuration under sub-keys, so SleekAI can read whichever provider you have connected. The bot's answers will reflect whether you are sending through Mailchimp, ConvertKit, MailerLite, or Campaign Monitor.

Only the data you map into the system message reaches the model. Skip the raw API key, and map a boolean for whether it is configured plus the redacted account name. The secret stays in wp_options while the bot still answers integration-health questions.

Yes. Conversation logging captures each user message, the assistant reply, the model name, tokens used, and the originating page URL. Because the bot runs inside the post editor, the log entries map cleanly to specific newsletter posts.
