For a small service business, the best newsletter software is one that already knows your customers. In Friendly8 your website sign-up form adds people to your CRM, and you send the newsletter from the same tool. Forms and email campaigns are in every plan, including Free for up to 100 contacts. Paid plans start at €19 per user per month.

Yes. A Friendly8 form creates a contact for every new email address, or fills in the empty fields on a contact you already have. It never overwrites details you entered yourself. You can embed the form on any website or share its link.

For a simple newsletter to your own customers, no: you write, schedule and send it in Friendly8. It goes out from your own Gmail or Microsoft 365 account, with an unsubscribe link in each email. You can send up to about 400 emails a day from Gmail, or 2,000 from Microsoft 365. Bigger lists go out over several days automatically. No mailbox connected yet? It sends from Friendly8's address until you connect one. For very large lists, a dedicated email tool is still the better fit.

Usually, yes. EU rules generally require permission before you send marketing email, and collecting and recording it is your responsibility. In Friendly8 a newsletter only goes to contacts with Marketing Consent switched on. Add a "Yes, send me the newsletter" tick box to your form: it's never pre-ticked, and only people who tick it get consent.

Yes. Add a Call-me-back button to your newsletter and say what it's about, like "boiler check". When a reader taps it and confirms, you get a call task for the next working day, plus a notification. Just opening the link does nothing, so mail scanners can't create tasks, and a second click adds nothing new. You can also start an automation with the Call-back Requested trigger.
