Step by step, with the screens you will see. Signed in, the addresses and commands are filled in with your own.

Getting started

Set up the account, verify where your mail comes from, and send the first issue.

The people on your list, how you sort them, and what each one agreed to.

Broadcasts, the editor, transactional mail, and what happens when mail is held.

Mail that goes out on its own, one step at a time, to each person who joins.

The Ghostwriter, takes, the Slop meter, the Council, and agents that work on your account.

Your public site, its posts, its look, and the domain it lives on.

Offers, launches, checkout, forms, and the sales that come back from Stripe.

What each number on the analytics screens means, and what it does not.

Members, keys, webhooks, billing, and keeping the account safe.

Every address, command, and webhook for this account, filled in.

For your developer. The send API, form posts, webhooks, MCP tools, and limits.
