Listmonk is open-source newsletter software you host yourself. Connecting it lets PostDelegate create a campaign in your Listmonk and start it on a schedule.
Publishing starts the campaign. When the post goes out, PostDelegate creates a regular campaign on your chosen list and sets it to running, which sends it. Use a PostDelegate draft to hold a campaign back, and send a test through Listmonk itself first.
What you need
- A running Listmonk reachable from the internet over
http://orhttps://. - A Listmonk username and password that can read settings and lists and create campaigns. Listmonk owns how those are created.
