Newsletrix knowledge base - every screen in the app explained

How Newsletrix works

Every screen in the app is drawn from one source, the newsletters that land in your personal tracking address. Nothing is scraped, and nothing comes from a shared archive of other people's emails. You choose which senders to follow, and the app analyses what they actually sent you.

You get a tracking address

A unique inbox address, created in Get Started. Optionally tag it with a group so the data stays separated by client or market.

You subscribe competitors to it

Sign that address up to the newsletters you want to watch, or forward emails you already receive.

Newsletrix reads what arrives

Subject, preheader, links, images, calls to action, sender details and send time all come from the email itself, and each one shows up somewhere in the app.

AI analyses each send

Tone, topics, offers, CTA quality, structure, SWOT items and recommendations, worked out for that one email.

The app aggregates it

Every other screen is that same collection cut a different way, by brand, by time, by content type, by link or by topic.

How the analysis works covers the same ground in more depth, with everything Newsletrix works out about a single newsletter and what each plan includes.

Questions people ask before reading further

Estimated is not measured

Newsletrix sees competitor newsletters the way any subscriber does. It has no access to another sender's real opens or clicks, and it never claims otherwise. Anything labelled est. is an estimate built from the content of the email itself. Rank emails against each other with it. Do not put it in a client report as fact.

Does tracking a competitor tell them anything?

You appear as an ordinary subscriber, because you are one. The sender sees an address on their list. Newsletrix does not open, click or interact on your behalf, so no engagement signal is sent back beyond the subscription itself.

How much data do I need before the screens mean anything?

A single newsletter already fills the detail view, the CTA breakdown and the SWOT items for that send. Screens that compare, rank or look for trends need repetition: roughly five sends per brand before rankings stop moving with every new email, and about a month before send-time and cadence patterns are worth acting on.

Can I separate clients or markets?

Yes. Tracking addresses can carry a group label, and the workspace selector at the top of the sidebar scopes the app to one of them. See Settings and workspaces.

Where do I report something that looks wrong?

Use the feedback option in the app, or the contact page. If one newsletter came out wrong, note its subject line and sender so the exact send can be found again.
