SleekView Kanban for SendPress Newsletters
SendPress Newsletters stores broadcasts, list rows, and send state in local tables that grow with every send your team makes. SleekView Kanban groups those rows into lanes by send status so editors push every issue from draft to scheduled to sent without bouncing between WordPress and the source a.

Why SendPress broadcasts work as a board view
SendPress Newsletters stores every newsletter, list row, and send state in custom tables. Each broadcast row carries the subject, the list name, the broadcast type, a status column with values for draft, scheduled, sending, and sent, plus the open and click rates once a send finishes. The default plugin admin lists broadcasts in a flat sortable table, which hides where the editorial queue is stuck.
A weekly digest, a launch announcement, and a winback automation all land in the same list with no real grouping. SleekView Kanban reads the same broadcast table and groups each row by status, so every send state gets its own lane with the row count next to the title. Editors see which broadcasts are about to ship to subscribers.
Dragging a card from Draft to Scheduled writes the new send window to the local broadcast row and queues a SendPress API update so the broadcast moves in the source system on the next sync tick. Cards in Sent stay read-only with the open and click rates visible. The editorial team acts on the pipeline alongside the content their editorial team already publishes daily they already publish.

Comparison
SendPress broadcast list vs SleekView Kanban
SendPress broadcast list
- Default broadcast list mixes drafts, scheduled, sending, and sent rows in one scroll
- Status filter is a dropdown so spotting bottlenecks across send states needs clicks
- Editing the send window requires opening each broadcast one at a time in the editor
- There is no bulk way to push a batch of drafts into scheduled before a launch window
- Editors switch between the source app and WordPress to update the broadcast queue
SleekView Kanban
- Reads the live SendPress broadcasts table synced by the plugin with no extra layer
- Groups by status so every send state becomes its own lane on the board view
- Drag a card and SleekView queues a source API update so the next sync tick syncs
- Cards show subject, list name, send window, and post-send open and click rates
- Bulk drag a stack of drafts into Scheduled and every row updates in one transaction
Features
What SleekView Kanban gives you for SendPress Newsletters
Drag-and-drop send pipeline
Promote a draft to scheduled, pause a live send, or archive a finished broadcast by dragging its card. SleekView writes back and queues a SendPress API call so the board and source stay in step.
Lane filters for real lists
Filter by target list, broadcast type, or assigned author so the weekly digest team sees only its own lanes while launch focuses on campaign blasts. Saved URLs deep-link any slice you choose.
Role-aware drop targets
Writers can move cards from Draft to Ready, while only the marketing lead can drop a card into Sending. SleekView reads native WordPress capabilities, so role rules protect every drag reliably.
Audience
Where editorial teams use the SendPress kanban
Weekly broadcast editorial
Editors keep the Monday digest, the Thursday update, and one-off blasts on a single board. Drafts move into Ready once copy is approved, then into Scheduled the moment the send slot is locked.
Launch broadcast plans
Launch days need every teaser, day-of, and follow-up broadcast on one wall. The board shows which sends are queued for the morning and which already finished so the lead can rebalance fast.
Lifecycle automation review
Automated welcome and winback broadcasts are easy to forget. The board groups them by type so managers can audit every active automation, see open rates per step, and pause underperforming sends.
The bigger picture
Why a board beats the SendPress list view
Editorial teams rarely run a single broadcast in isolation. A typical SendPress setup carries a weekly digest, a welcome series, a winback automation, and a steady backlog of drafts waiting on copy approval. The native broadcast list shows all of that as one sorted table, and spotting that three issues are stuck in Draft because no one approved the subject line is genuinely hard.
A kanban makes that visible the second the board loads. Every lane has a row count, so a backlog of nine drafts against two scheduled broadcasts is obvious without filters. Drag-and-drop turns approval into a single gesture instead of a sequence of clicks across the edit screen.
The board also gives non-SendPress staff a safe surface to look at the pipeline without giving them broadcast edit rights, because columns visible to a viewer role can be locked down to safe state changes. The net result is fewer status meetings and fewer surprise sends.
Questions
Common questions about SleekView Kanban for SendPress Newsletters
Yes. SleekView reads the same local tables the SendPress Newsletters plugin uses, so every card reflects the same broadcast row the plugin maintains. There is no shadow copy, no extra sync layer, and no extra API quota burn from rendering the board itself.
Yes. The drag writes the new status and send window to the local synced table and queues an API call to SendPress on the next sync tick. Local plugin hooks fire on the change, so any automation wired to transitions runs as before.
Use the broadcast status column as the primary lane source, then split Sent out by combining the status with the sent timestamp if you want a long archive lane. That mirrors the four real states SendPress tracks for every broadcast.
Yes. Add a list or broadcast type filter to the view and the board only shows broadcasts matching it. Save the filtered view as its own URL, share it with the lifecycle or product team, and they each get a focused board.
No. SleekView only writes the same columns SendPress already updates from its own app, so opens, clicks, bounces, and unsubscribes keep recording exactly as before. The reporting tables SendPress maintains are untouched.
Yes. SleekView reads anything you can put in a SQL view, so you can join the broadcast table to a custom approvals table or a postmeta key that stores the assigned editor. The joined columns become card fields without changing the plugin.
The kanban collapses into a vertical stack of lanes on narrower screens. Each lane shows the same card front, tapping a card opens the detail sheet, and drag-and-drop works on touch the same way it does with a mouse for fast phone updates.
No. SleekView paginates each lane independently and only loads card data for the lanes you are viewing. Sent can hold tens of thousands of rows because the lane lazy-loads as you scroll. Active lanes stay snappy with in-flight rows only.
