FAQ
Does Topical provide its own email delivery infrastructure for sending out newsletters to subscribers?
No, Topical does not handle the actual sending of emails. The platform focuses on the design and construction of HTML email newsletters. Once a newsletter is finalized, users must export the content to an existing email service provider, such as Mailchimp or Brevo, to complete the distribution process to their audience (verified: 2026-01-29).
How does the Slack integration work for teams wanting to stay updated on industry news?
The Slack integration allows teams to turn industry news into a weekly post. Topical identifies relevant links and sends a clean summary directly into a chosen Slack channel. This feature is available on the free plan and helps teams stay on top of their niche with AI-filtered content that posts automatically every week (verified: 2026-01-29).
Can users customize the content that the AI pulls into their recurring newsletter drafts?
Yes, users maintain control over the final output. While Topical pulls in fresh content and suggests specific talking points using AI, the user adds their own voice to the draft. The platform requires the user to approve every send, ensuring that the curated links and summaries meet their specific standards before being exported (verified: 2026-01-29).
