Turn Every Story into an Engaging Newsletter
Email newsletters remain one of the most effective ways to reach readers, drive website traffic, and build loyal subscribers.
Surf CMS makes newsletter publishing simple by allowing your newsroom to send stories directly from the CMS. Instead of copying and pasting articles into a separate email platform, editors can create beautiful newsletters using the same content they've already published.
One story. One workflow. More readers.
Publish Directly from Your CMS
Why manage two separate systems?
With Surf CMS, your website and newsletters work together seamlessly.
Editors can:
- Select published stories
- Choose which articles to include
- Arrange the newsletter layout
- Add headlines and images
- Send immediately or schedule for later
Everything happens from within Surf CMS, saving time and reducing repetitive work.

Surf CMS eliminates that process.
