How to Create Replicable Newsletters in NOAN Using Smart Blocks

If you want to send regular newsletters with a consistent format, NOAN’s Smart Blocks make it effortless. Here’s a step-by-step guide to building and automating your newsletter workflow:

1. Understand the Power of Smart Blocks

• In NOAN, a newsletter is treated as a “fact”—a reusable template you can lock in as a Smart Block.
• Once set, this format can be replicated by the Assistant or in Create Mode, ensuring every edition follows your preferred structure.

2. Set Up Your Newsletter Structure

• Decide on your newsletter’s format. For example, you might want a changelog email or a blog newsletter featuring your top five articles.
• You can start by dropping in a changelog email you’ve written, or even one generated by the Assistant.

3. Ask the Assistant for a Replicable Format

• The easiest way to create a reusable template is to ask the Assistant:
  “Can you turn this email newsletter structure into a format I can replicate?”
• The Assistant will focus on the format (not the content), giving you a clean, reusable structure.

4. Save and Use Your Format

• Once you have your format, save it as a Smart Block.
• If you want to tweak individual elements, simply cut and paste the sections you need.

5. Create Newsletters Instantly

• When you’re ready to send a new newsletter, just ask the Assistant to create an email based on your saved newsletter format block.
• Specify which format you want (e.g., changelog or blog newsletter), and the Assistant will generate a new edition in seconds.

6. Pro Tip: Reference Your Format Block

• Always reference your newsletter format block when working with the Assistant in the workspace.
  Example: “Create a newsletter using the blog newsletter format block.”
• This ensures the Assistant pulls the correct structure and fills it with your latest content.

Summary

• Lock in your newsletter format as a Smart Block.
• Ask the Assistant to generate new editions using your template.
• Reference your format block for instant, consistent newsletters.

With NOAN, replicating and scaling your newsletter process is as easy as a single prompt—no more reinventing the wheel for every send.
