What if I have blog notification emails set to send daily, but we haven't published a new blog post?

We're thinking of turning on blog notification emails to our blog subscribers. Thinking of setting the notifications to daily. What happens though if we don't have a new blog post one day?

Does that just mean the email won't send since there's no new blog posts?

Also, what frequency of blog subscription have worked best for you (Instant, daily, weekly, monthly)?

Hey @pina, welcome to the community! If you have daily blog notifications set, but don't publish a blog on any particular day, an email will not be sent on that day. I would also recommend checking out these two articles for more information: 

• Will my blog notification email send if no artilces have been posted since the last email 
• If I publish a blog post while my notificaitons are off will it send when I turn them back on?

• I don't have a definite answer for you on this! I'm assuming that it would not send as the email only includes new posts since the last email and this would result in an empty email.

Also, what frequency of blog subscription have worked best for you (Instant, daily, weekly, monthly)? 

• Best option is to let the subscriber choose the option. You can add frequency as an option on the blog subscribe form.
• If you are posting several times a day, I would probably turn off instant as it may increase the the unsubscribe rate and the emails also count towards your account email limit.
