Auto Sending Zapier Digest to Distribution / Newsletter List

Is there a way to send a Zapier digest to an email distribution /newsletter list in a bulk email provider, such as MailerLite? 

We’d like to automatically compile form responses (requests for assistance) into the body of a single email that is sent out automatically to email / newsletter subscribers (people interested in fulfilling the requests for assistance). I know how to compile the form results into a Zapier digest and I know how to trigger a digest to send automatically to specific email addresses. What I don’t know is how to get that email to send to a distribution list.

From the support articles, I see it’s possible to do this in gmail (set up the distribution list in gmail), but this email will be going to a large # of subscribers (hundreds of people) and gmail: a) has limits on # of recipients per email and # of emails that can be sent per hour/day, and b) using it for bulk email will get one throttled and one’s emails blacklisted/routed to spam folders. 😁 So I need to send the digest out via a bulk email provider (we use MailerLite but if this workflow will only work with a particular software, we can switch to something different),

Is it possible to do this?

Hey there ​@TerriBruce 👋 Did the MailerLite actions Troy suggested do the trick?

Let us know how it went, want to make sure you're all set! 🙂

Sort of - Troy’s suggestion, theoretically, is the solution I needed. Unfortunately, what’s not indicated in the Zapier UI is that the MailerLite “draft campaign” and “send campaign” actions are only for folks on the “Advanced” plan of MailerLite. I didn’t find this out until attempting to test the last step of my Zap. Zapier could have saved me some valuable time if it indicated on the UI which app actions require paid plans :/

Sorry to hear that those actions require MailerLite’s Advanced plan ​@TerriBruce, and for the delay in replying here. Thanks for letting us know about the plan requirements, I’ll pass this information over to our team to get the documentation and help text for those actions updated.

And I’ll mark Troy’s suggestion as the solution here in case it’s helpful to others coming across this. If there’s anything else we can help with just let us know.
