About this integration
Indie newsletter platform for writing, sending, and managing email lists. Use it from the workflow canvas with no custom glue script required.
This integration exposes 1 trigger, 23 search modules and 30 actions as workflow nodes. Authentication uses basic authentication. Webhook-based triggers fire instantly without polling.
How to connect
The credential form asks for ButtonDown - API Key.
Prefer the interactive builder form? Open it on the app page.
Paste your credentials once — WEXTL® stores them encrypted and reuses the connection across every workflow that needs it.
Enter your credentials below. WEXTL stores them encrypted and uses them only to call the API on your behalf.

Use it in workflow automation
Start with Watch Events, then add Create a Bulk Action.
The canvas below runs Watch Events into Create a Bulk Action — watch the video, then drop a node onto the canvas.
Select the Watch Events trigger and the workflow fires automatically when the event occurs — no polling required.
Then add Create a Bulk Action as the next node. Branch, filter, or hand off to other integrations from there.
The integration includes 31 ready-made modules for communication work — each run logs its inputs and outputs for debugging.
