Mailcoach has a beautiful new coat of paint!

Link –

Mailcoach is our premium mail service that allows you to send newsletters, build powerful email automation, and send transactional mail. It truly can cover all your mailing needs.

Unlike most competitors, we only price by the number of emails you send and not by how large your subscriber list is.

After having revamped our marketing pages last month, we’re launching our new beautiful UI for the app today. Let’s take a closer look at all the changes.

A fresh look

Let’s dive straight in; here’s what a list of subscribers now looks like.

If you’ve used Mailcoach previously, you’ll notice immediately that this screen has been redesigned from scratch. The colors, font, and general layout have all been updated to reflect the design we introduced to our marketing pages.

Behind the scenes, we use Filament to render those tables. We’ve highly customized how they look, so you don’t have the feeling you’re looking at the stock tables. Of course, every list has powerful sorting, search, bulk actions, and filtering options that you know and love from Filament.

Easy to use automations

Email automation is one of Mailcoach's most powerful features. Using automations, you can build up any email flow you might need. You might also know this as “drip campaigns.”

We’ve totally revamped how automations look. Here’s a simple automation that sends mail 10 minutes after someone signs up.

At Spatie, we use this feature to send a couple of emails during the trial period on Flare.

The real power of automations comes into play when using branching logic. For Flare, we’ll automatically invite people who are subscribed after two months since onboarding to our affiliate program.

Self-hosted Mailcoach

Next to the hosted version of Mailcoach, we also offer a self-hosted version. This version has been updated as well. Because we need to update every view, we decided to tag it as a new major version. You’ll find the upgrade notes here.

In closing

With both the Mailcoach marketing pages and the Mailcoach app itself updated to the new design, we feel the Mailcoach platform is on another level now.
