Most people treat this stretch of the year as dead time. But builders like you know it’s actually prime time. And with beehiiv powering your content, world domination is truly in sight.

On beehiiv, you can launch your website in minutes with the AI Web Builder, publish a professional newsletter with ease, and even tap into huge earnings with the beehiiv Ad Network. It’s everything you need to create, grow, and monetize in one place.

In fact, we’re so hyped about what you’ll create, we’re giving you 30% off your first three months with code BIG30. So forget about taking a break. It’s time for a break-through.

Start building for 30% off today.

Hey folks, quick one today.

I was planning on today off. Holidays, family time, all that. But then I realized I never actually announced a break, so here we are with a quick update instead.

I did step away from heavy development the past few days to recharge and catch up with people. But I didn't ignore SayMail completely.

While waiting for test results to come in, I knocked out a feature I've been wanting to add: email integration.

Here's the problem with the current workflow.

Once SayMail generates your email, you have to manually copy the subject line, copy the body, open Gmail, paste everything, and then send.

It takes maybe 10 seconds, not a big deal, but it’s friction.

So I spent about 2-3 hours wiring up Gmail integration. Now you can push drafts directly from SayMail to your inbox. No more copy-pasting.

One caveat: This only works for Gmail users right now. I don't have plans to expand to Yahoo or other providers but might later on.

Right now, SayMail is limited to about 5-10 test accounts. That's been useful for catching bugs and getting initial feedback, but it's time to expand.

My next focus is scaling capacity to 20 up to 50 users.

In next week's email, I'll officially open the beta with a direct signup link. No survey required upfront this time.

Here's the new flow:

sign up → watch a quick 5-minute walkthrough video → start networking.

The survey comes after you've created your first outreach message. That way, you're giving feedback based on actual experience instead of expectations.

The limit is 50 accounts. Once that's hit, you'll see a waitlist page instead.

Two things specifically:

This isn't the official announcement, but if you're reading this... consider it your head start.

No survey. Just sign up, watch the walkthrough, and start creating outreach messages.

That’s all for today. If you enjoyed this post, share it with a friend!
