There is a lot of confusing info about this topic, so I’m going to try to ask with specifics.

Our need: User selects set topics they are interested in. When a new post is published on one of those topics an email is immediately sent to those people who selected it.

Questions:

In the subscription form how are topics selected/added?

Can a user select more than one topic to be subscribed to?  
Is topic the same as a tag? How do you set a topic to a post?

We are moving subscribed people over from another system-I know you can add them with a list, but will the subscription pick that up?

I have questions about the layout, but I will address that later. Any help to get me going is helpful! Thanks!

Hi @TRichards8,

Thanks for reaching out!

I wanted to share this help article on setting up blog subscription emails, how to configure their frequency, and setting up a blog subscription form.

If I’m understanding properly, it sounds like you’re looking for a way to schedule RSS blog emails by _blog tags?_ This is currently not a feature in HubSpot. I would recommend upvoting this idea:[Blog subscription by topic](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/HubSpot-Ideas/Blog-subscription-by-topic/idi-p/2965). and following the idea post so that you can be notified if there are any future updates/betas that would be rolled out.

If you would like to manually create/curate your blog emails with exactly the content you want in them and send it manually on your preferred cycle, I would recommend checking out [this workaround](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CMS-Development/Email-with-specific-blog-posts/td-p/279667) offered by [@Phil\_Vallender](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/74).

In regards to importing contacts with subscription types, I wanted to refer you to [this related thread](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/CRM/How-to-import-contact-data-What-is-the-best-strategy/m-p/413466) and [this thread](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/Lists-Lead-Scoring-Workflows/Upload-List-of-Subscribers/m-p/195103) with best practices for importing subscribers.

I hope this helps!

Best,

Kristen
