What it is
A content calendar app for newsletters is a web workspace where each issue is a record holding its subject line, theme, send date, and draft stage. It keeps a recurring send on schedule so the newsletter never goes dark or ships half-baked.
What your newsletters content tracks
Every field below is one you can add, rename, or remove by chatting with Kleap — a starting point tuned for newsletters.
Issue number / date
Identifies each edition in sequence so the writer keeps a numbered archive and never skips a send in the cadence.
Subject line
Drafts the subject early so it can be tested and sharpened for open rate before the issue is finalized.
Issue theme / angle
Sets the through-line for the edition so each send has a clear focus instead of a random grab-bag.
Send date
Pins the delivery day on the calendar so subscribers get a predictable rhythm they come to expect.
Draft stage
Tracks outline, drafting, editing, and ready-to-send so no issue reaches its send day still unwritten.
Featured story / lead
Names the headline item so the most important content is decided first and the issue is built around it.
CTA / sponsor slot
Records the primary call to action or paid placement so promotions and sponsor commitments are never dropped.
Segment
Notes which audience the issue targets so the writer can plan different content for free versus paid subscribers.
Assets / links
Holds the images and links for the edition so everything is gathered before the ready-to-send stage.

Frequently asked questions
Does the app send the newsletter email to my subscribers on the send date?+
No. Kleap does not connect to Substack, Beehiiv, Mailchimp, or ConvertKit and it will not deliver email to your list — it's a planning source of truth, not an email service. You plan subjects, themes, and send dates here, then compose and send in your ESP. It keeps the editorial calendar on track; your ESP handles delivery and deliverability.
How do I make sure I never miss a scheduled send?+
Give each issue a Draft stage and Send date, and aim to have the next edition at ready-to-send a couple of days early. The calendar view flags any upcoming send that isn't drafted yet. Seeing that gap ahead of time is what prevents a dark week.
Can I plan sponsor placements a few issues in advance?+
Yes. Use the CTA / sponsor slot field to mark which upcoming issues carry paid placements, then filter the calendar to see fill rate. That prevents overbooking one edition or forgetting a committed slot. Kleap records the plan; it doesn't invoice sponsors or insert the ad copy automatically.
Does it manage different content for free versus paid subscribers?+
Yes, at the planning level — tag each issue with a Segment so you can see the free-versus-paid mix across the calendar. It stores which audience each edition targets. Kleap won't split your list or gate content; your ESP handles the actual segmentation and paywall.
