Content Contributor Quick Start Guide
Edit in CMSWelcome! As a content contributor, you’re focused on creating and managing newsletter content. This guide gets you from login to your first scheduled send.
1. Log in
Section titled “1. Log in”- Your invitation arrives by email. Add [email protected] to your contacts so your login credentials don’t land in spam.
- At the login screen, enter your email — if you don’t have a password yet, use Forgot Password to set one. See How to Reset Your Password.
- Letterhead requires multi-factor authentication. See Setting up MFA.
2. Know what you can access
Section titled “2. Know what you can access”Content contributors get the content tools — see the full permissions breakdown:
- Emails — full access to create, curate, and schedule. See Working in Emails.

- Curations — pull in articles via RSS feeds, API, or the browser extension. See Working in Curations.
- Automations — set up recurring sends. See Working in Automations.
- Dashboard and Archive — see delivery performance, and view published newsletters as readers see them.
