🚨 Common Problem

How to Fix: Skool Has No Email Digest Feature

Skool does not offer built-in email digest or newsletter functionality

The Problem

Skool currently does not have a built-in email digest or newsletter feature. This means community managers cannot automatically send weekly or daily roundups of posts, events, or highlights directly to members via email. Many community leaders notice lower engagement when members miss important updates that would normally be summarized and delivered in a digest format.

As a result, managers often spend extra time manually crafting summaries, copying links, and sending emails outside the platform. Members, especially those who do not log in daily, can feel disconnected or unaware of new content. Common symptoms include reduced event attendance, fewer post interactions, and members reporting they did not see key updates.

Why This Happens

The root cause is that Skool does not yet offer an automated email digest or newsletter tool. Many platforms provide this by default, but Skool focuses on in-platform notifications and posts. Community managers often assume members will check Skool regularly, but in reality, most members miss updates unless prompted by email.

A common mistake is relying solely on Skool's notification system, which can be easily ignored or lost in busy inboxes. Without a digest, important discussions and events become buried, especially in active groups. Platform limitations mean managers must find workarounds to keep members informed and engaged outside Skool’s main interface.

⚠️ The Impact

If this problem goes unfixed, communities risk lower engagement and participation. Members who miss key updates may become inactive or feel less connected to your group. Over time, this can lead to declining event attendance, fewer member contributions, and a weakening sense of community.

From a business perspective, important announcements or offers may be overlooked, reducing the value your community provides. Long term, this can affect retention, satisfaction, and the overall health of your Skool group.
