Once the Mailchimp emails are imported, you can send your post to those emails from Pressbase directly.

Go to Pressbase Newsroom admin > open a post to edit > click the plus icon > HTML. Paste in the code you copied from Step 1.

3. Replace Pressbase subscription page

Get the URL by following the Mailchimp tutorial:

Step 2: Edit Pressbase header menu

Go to your Newsroom admin > Settings > Design.

Add the menu name (e.g. Subscribe) in Label, and then past in the URL you copied in Step 1. Click Save.
