DemoBitesSubscribers & release emails
Let visitors subscribe to your Product Hub and email them when you ship, with double opt-in, a full management screen, and a consent record for every address. The subscribe form works on every plan. Emailing subscribers is Broadcast, part of Growth.
How visitors subscribe
Your public Product Hub carries a subscribe box. The flow is double opt-in:
- 1
A visitor enters their email
Right on the public Product Hub. No account, no signup form beyond the address.
- 2
They receive a confirmation email
The address isn't subscribed yet. DemoBites sends a confirmation link to prove the inbox is real and the request is genuine.
- 3
They confirm and become Active
Only after clicking the confirmation link does the subscriber count as Active and start receiving release emails.
Why double opt-in? It keeps your list clean, protects your sender reputation, and gives every subscription an explicit, provable consent moment — which is exactly what the consent record captures.
Notifying subscribers
Publishing a release never emails anyone by itself. When a release is worth an inbox, send a Broadcast to your Active list. In the Broadcast composer you pick the demos, and AI writes the subject and intro. Sending is always a deliberate, explicit action. Broadcast is part of Growth.
Send a Broadcast
A Broadcast sends the release email to your Active subscribers. Publish ten times a week and email only when it matters.
Send history
Each release keeps its send history, so you always know what has been broadcast, when, and what hasn't.
The management screen
The subscriber management screen in the dashboard lists every address with its current state. From there you can:
Filter by state
Narrow the list to Active, Paused, Unsubscribed, Bounced, or Suppressed subscribers.
Act on individual subscribers
Per-subscriber actions let you manage any entry directly from the list.
Export to CSV
Download the list at any time, including each subscriber's GDPR consent record.
Subscriber states
Every subscriber is in exactly one state, and only Active subscribers receive release emails:
| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Active | Confirmed via double opt-in and receiving release emails. |
| Paused (30 / 60 / 90) | Taking a break for a 30-, 60-, or 90-day window instead of unsubscribing outright. No emails during the pause. |
| Unsubscribed | Opted out. Never emailed again unless they subscribe and confirm anew. |
| Bounced | The address bounced, so delivery stopped. That protects your sender reputation. |
| Suppressed | Excluded from all sends regardless of any other state. |
CSV export & consent records
The subscriber list exports to CSV, and every subscriber carries a GDPR consent record: when consent was given and on which surface it was collected. Your compliance story is built in, not bolted on.
Audit-ready by default
Because every subscription passes through double opt-in, each exported row can show exactly when and where the subscriber consented — useful for audits and for proving lawful basis if you ever migrate the list.
Availability
The subscribe form works on every plan, and so does the Product Hub itself. Emailing your subscribers is Broadcast, which is part of Growth.
