02/04/2022, 4:26 AMI have not created one yet , I will create after enabling subscribe button

02/04/2022, 4:33 AMOkay. So you don't need Subscription for this.
owonwo
02/04/2022, 4:34 AMFirst, you need to know that Supabase can't handle sending the Newsletters.
owonwo
02/04/2022, 4:34 AMIn order for you do that you'll need an external email service provider.
owonwo
02/04/2022, 4:35 AMSupabase can help you keep track of your Newsletter subscribers only and may also help verify they email address if you need that as well.

02/04/2022, 4:36 AMYou'll need to create a table and then use the client SDK. I believe since it's a website, you'll be using the Javascript SDK.

02/04/2022, 4:39 AMOh , I see.So is there any platform which provides me this service for subscription where I can store database, and sent simultaneously.
Harshita Sharma
02/04/2022, 4:39 AMYeah that needs to be done actually
Harshita Sharma
02/04/2022, 4:40 AMSo what you mean is to search for a external email service provider and then link it with supabase?
Harshita Sharma
02/04/2022, 4:40 AMCan you explain a bit more , I am new to this
o
owonwo
02/04/2022, 4:42 AMWell, it will be an overkill if you want to link the Email providers with Supabase. Most email providers have an API for adding subscribers.
owonwo
02/04/2022, 4:43 AMYou could search for Mailchimp and Send Grid. They are the popular ones i know of
