Howdy! 🤠 I don’t want you @dan to feel pressured to release a product before it’s ready. You have a plan—this is just me trying to plan my own schedule as well. A couple of quick questions: 1. Do you—or does anyone @ben—have an ETA for the release of a solid version of the amazing Elements CMS, with or without the built-in UI? I’m not asking about the online version. 2. Is there a plan—and if so, an ETA—for a super simple built-in email newsletter feature? Something like a once-a-week update about new posts, etc. I host with [Chillidog](https://chillidoghosting.com) and would definitely be open to integrating with [Chillinews](https://chillidoghosting.com/services/newsletters). What do you think, Greg? @barchard Thanks! ---

Fair and thank you for directing us to that. I’m still hoping Greg will answer and discuss a plan or solution. ---

No problem add your upvote and gets lots to do it! Dan might change his mind then!😂😂😂 ---

@Flash my plan is to get my GridIron out the door then start working on FormsPlus. I can integrate Chillinews with FormsPlus if that’s what you’re interested in? ---

@barchard I’m not sure what grid iron is. A secure form would be appreciated and news is the only thing keeping me from choosing Elements. (Other than not being released yet, lol) Otherwise I have to go with Wordpress. Which is fine, just not as fun and I am told a server resource hog. ---

Found grid iron. Spreadsheet integration. Clever tool. But I just need a great form and a subscription newsletter. ---

You can use the built-in Forms Webhook feature for this! When someone signs-up on your form the webhook fires to the third-party newsletter service and subscribes them. Alternatively you could also send the webhook via Zapier, this opens up infinite possibilities to work with pretty much any service on the internet 🙂 ---

Yeah, wouldn’t have a clue how to do that. Sounds expensive with a bunch of layers. ---

Hi @barchhard, would that be FormsPlus for Elements? I have been using FormsPlus for RWC and it is just brilliant. Will be great if we can get the same for Elements 🙂 ---

Thanks my plan! I’ve had to do a lot more work on GridIron than I anticipated to automate a lot of backend grunt work. I’m spending the time now to make things easier in the future 🙂 ---
