What it is
HeyNews is an AI newsletter writer for Mailchimp users. It imports your public Mailchimp campaign archive, trains a Voice Profile from the campaigns you have already sent, watches the sources you trust (RSS feeds, sites, X, Reddit, saved articles), and drafts your next newsletter in your voice for you to review and send. Plans start at $39/mo with a 14-day free trial.
HeyNews does not replace Mailchimp. Mailchimp stays where your audiences, templates, automations, deliverability, and sending live. HeyNews is the production layer that turns your campaign history plus your sources into a draft you would have written anyway, in less time.
How HeyNews works with Mailchimp
- Point HeyNews at your Mailchimp archive
- No login to Mailchimp, no setup, no browser extension. HeyNews fetches the public campaign archive at your Mailchimp URL and uses it as the starting point for your Voice Profile.
- Build your Voice Profile from real campaigns
- HeyNews studies the tone, recurring sections, sentence rhythm, and the way you turn ideas into emails. Real Mailchimp campaigns beat any prompt-engineered "style guide".
- Add the sources behind your next campaign
- RSS feeds, websites, X profiles, Reddit threads, and saved articles. HeyNews scans them and surfaces a ranked shortlist of stories that match what your subscribers actually read.
- Review the draft, then send from Mailchimp
- HeyNews drafts the campaign with subject line and preview text options. Edit until it sounds right, copy the finished version into Mailchimp's campaign editor, and send it on your schedule.
- Run a Mailchimp newsletter and a second one side by side
- On Pro and Team plans, your Mailchimp newsletter and a Substack, beehiiv, or Kit newsletter can both live in one HeyNews account, each with its own Voice Profile, sources, and draft history.
What to expect today
HeyNews creates the draft. It does not push to Mailchimp or auto-send for you. Today you review inside HeyNews, copy the finished version into Mailchimp, and send it yourself. Voice training works best when your campaign archive is publicly visible; if your campaigns are not archived publicly, HeyNews has less to learn from at first. See the FAQ for details.
Why it feels different for Mailchimp operators
- Trained on the campaigns your subscribers already know
- Mailchimp's built-in AI helps with subject lines and quick rewrites inside the campaign editor. HeyNews learns from every campaign you have already sent, so the first draft starts in your voice instead of sounding like generic marketing copy.
- A shortlist of stories before you start writing
- Mailchimp is where you send. HeyNews helps before that by scanning your sources overnight and surfacing a ranked shortlist of stories worth covering, so the recurring newsletter is no longer "what should I write about this week?".
- Separate Voice Profiles for separate campaigns
- A weekly customer newsletter and a monthly product update should not read the same. HeyNews keeps separate Voice Profiles, sources, and draft histories for each Mailchimp campaign type.
- Subject lines and preview text included
- Each draft includes subject line and preview text options, so the campaign is closer to ready by the time you open the Mailchimp campaign editor.
- No more pasting into ChatGPT every week
- You stop copying past campaigns into a system prompt every Monday. HeyNews trains on your archive once and uses it as voice memory for every future draft.

Use cases
The ecommerce brand running a weekly Mailchimp newsletter
You send a weekly customer letter to 25,000 Mailchimp subscribers. Writing it eats Tuesday afternoon. HeyNews drafts it Monday night so Tuesday becomes a 30-minute review instead of a three-hour write, and the email still sounds like the brand, not like a Mailchimp template filled in by AI.
The B2B operator with recurring Mailchimp campaigns
You send a monthly customer-success newsletter and a quarterly product update. HeyNews keeps separate Voice Profiles, sources, and draft histories for each, so the customer-success email never bleeds into the product update.
The agency running multiple Mailchimp accounts
You manage Mailchimp newsletters across three client accounts. HeyNews keeps each client voice, source list, and draft history separate, so switching between them is one click and no client ever sees another client's tone.
The Mailchimp-to-beehiiv evaluator
You are weighing a move from Mailchimp to beehiiv. HeyNews works with both. Train on your Mailchimp archive today, then layer in your beehiiv history once the migration finishes, without retraining the Voice Profile from scratch.
FAQ
Does HeyNews replace Mailchimp?
No. Mailchimp stays where your audiences, templates, automations, deliverability, and sending live. HeyNews is the production layer that drafts each campaign from your archive plus your sources, so the page you copy into Mailchimp is already written in your voice.
How does HeyNews import my Mailchimp campaigns?
Point HeyNews at your public Mailchimp campaign archive URL. It fetches the campaigns you have published there and trains a Voice Profile from them. No login to Mailchimp, no setup, no browser extension to install.
Does HeyNews push drafts directly into Mailchimp?
Not today. Drafts live inside HeyNews until you decide they are ready. When you finalize one, copy it into Mailchimp's campaign editor and send it from there. That keeps you in editorial control and means a misclick never sends to your list.
Can HeyNews read my Mailchimp open and click data?
Not today. Mailchimp keeps subscriber-level engagement inside Mailchimp. HeyNews trains on your past campaigns for voice but cannot read open and click signals the way it can on beehiiv or Kit.
What if my Mailchimp campaign archive is not public?
HeyNews trains on what is publicly visible. If your campaigns are not archived publicly, you can still onboard by uploading example campaigns during setup so the Voice Profile has issues to learn from. Once your Mailchimp campaign archive is public, HeyNews has more to work with on the next training pass.
Does HeyNews work for Mailchimp newsletters with no archive yet?
HeyNews works best with at least three sent campaigns. With fewer, the first draft leans more on the briefs you write during onboarding. Send two or three campaigns first, then connect. The Voice Profile sharpens with every campaign you add.
Will HeyNews handle Mailchimp automations and customer journeys?
Not today. HeyNews is built around the recurring newsletter: drafts produced from your archive plus your sources. Automations, drip series, and customer journeys need different mechanics, so Mailchimp handles those and HeyNews handles the broadcast.
What is the free trial?
14 days or 5 generated issues, whichever ends first. A payment method is required so accounts cannot be recycled. Cancel any time during the trial and you are not charged.
Cut the Mailchimp newsletter from a four-hour write to a thirty-minute review.
Import your Mailchimp archive, train HeyNews on your campaigns, and judge the first draft yourself. If it does not sound like you, we have not done our job.
