Integration with Beehiv, Buttondown, etc.
Has anyone figured out a way to synchronize posts with an email distribution platform like Beehiv, Ghost, or Buttondown? I'm currently copying and pasting posts into Substack (and looking to move away from Substack in the near future) which is a bit tedious.
Some of these services (Beehiv, Buttondown, etc.) offer RSS-to-email which will do the trick for you.
I do this myself with Sendy and a python RSStosendy script that pulls in the latest post from my blog's RSS feed and mails it out to interested parties. Works well.

Answered 2 days ago · Edit answerRay's solution seems best (some control). I've stuck to manual as I often edit posts shortly after publishing, so want a delay before the email goes out.
Answered 16 hours ago · Edit answerI'm using buttondown and so far love it. I don't touch a thing. I use RSS-to-Email (they require a paid subscription) and have spent time talking with their team to customize the design of the email, cadence, and a few other factors. Now it just pulls all my recent posts and sends a weekly email without me doing anything other than publishing. I've used a lot of email services in the past, so far I'm most impressed by Buttondown. I didn't know about them before someone mentioned it in these forums.
