How Nonprofits Can Create Newsletters in Minutes Using FluentCRM’s Latest Posts Block in WordPress

If you work at a nonprofit and manage your organization’s website or communications, you know how powerful newsletters can be—but also how time-consuming they are to build every month. The good news? If your website runs on WordPress, there’s now a much faster way to create and send beautiful email campaigns using content you’ve already published.

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through a powerful new feature in FluentCRM, a WordPress-based CRM plugin: the Latest Posts Block. This tool pulls your blog posts, news updates, or custom post types (like impact stories or event listings) directly into your email campaign—right from your WordPress dashboard.

What Is the Latest Posts Block in FluentCRM?

The Latest Posts Block is a dynamic content block that connects your WordPress content with your FluentCRM email campaigns. It allows you to:
• Automatically pull in the latest blog posts or news articles
• Include content from custom post types (like events or success stories)
• Filter content by category, tag, or date
• Create email campaigns faster—no copy-pasting needed

This feature is built right into FluentCRM, a CRM plugin that runs entirely inside your WordPress website—no third-party platforms required.
