Community newsletter

From submitted links to a sent newsletter. Zero clicks.

Your readers submit links through a form. Connect your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, anything that speaks MCP) and ask for this week's issue: it reads the entries, summarizes each link, and drafts the newsletter in MailPoet. Review, tweak by prompt, schedule. You never open WordPress.

One form, three fields, done

Readers drop in a link, a title, and a short description through a Gravity Forms form on your site. That is the whole intake: no account to create, no dashboard to log into.

  • Title, URL, and description: nothing more to fill in.
  • Runs on the Gravity Forms you already have.
  • Every link becomes an entry, ready to curate.

Ask your AI agent for this week's issue

Tell your AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, anything that speaks MCP) to put together this week's roundup. It pulls the week's entries, writes a one-line summary for each link, and drops the whole thing into a MailPoet draft, formatted and ready to read. Your agent becomes the newsletter generator; you stay the editor.

  • Works with any MCP-able AI agent, not one vendor.
  • Summaries come out written, not just links pasted in.
  • Ask for another pass in plain language, no editor required.

Curate without losing track

Mark a few links as featured for the top of the issue, and once an entry has gone into a newsletter it is flagged in your entry list. Next week's run will not pull the same link twice.

  • Flag your favorites to feature them up top.
  • Used entries are marked, right in Gravity Forms.
  • Nothing gets repeated by accident.

No agent connected? Do it by hand

Skip the AI agent entirely and it still works: select the entries you want in the Gravity Forms entry list, run the Compose bulk action, and the same newsletter draft lands in MailPoet.

  • Select entries, run one bulk action, get a draft.
  • No AI agent required, no MCP setup needed.
  • Same newsletter, same MailPoet draft, your call either way.

Start from a free community newsletter template

A Gravity Forms form built for link entries (title, URL, description), paired with a MailPoet newsletter laid out for a weekly roundup. Import both, and your AI agent already has somewhere to drop the draft.

Zip with the Gravity Forms form, two MailPoet newsletter layouts and a short readme. Needs MailPoet for Gravity Forms 1.3 or newer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Community newsletter questions

  • Do I need an AI agent to use this?

    No. Curating and generating the newsletter works from the Gravity Forms entry list on its own. An AI agent removes the manual step of picking and summarizing entries, but it is not required.

  • Which AI agents work with this?

    Any AI agent that speaks MCP: Claude, ChatGPT, and others all connect the same way, through the WordPress Abilities API.

  • Can it summarize the links people submit?

    Yes. Ask your AI agent for this week's issue and it reads each entry and writes a short summary, ready to drop into the draft.

  • Does anything send without me?

    No. Your AI agent can read, summarize, and draft, but a newsletter only sends after you review it and give the go-ahead.

Let your AI agent run the roundup

Connect it once, and every week's issue is a prompt away. Or skip the agent and do it from the entry list, your call.
