What makes Armiflow a GDPR compliant newsletter tool?

As a GDPR compliant newsletter tool, Armiflow requires consent for newsletters by default, as § 174 TKG 2021 (Austrian telecoms law) demands for marketing emails. The recipient filter shows for every contact why they are excluded. On top come an unsubscribe link, a block list, consent records per channel in the CRM, and data access and erasure under GDPR Art. 15 and 17.

Armiflow is designed for it: consent is required by default, every email has an unsubscribe link, consent is stored per channel with its legal basis, and data access and erasure under Art. 15 and 17 are built in. You remain responsible for your content and privacy policy so that you use the GDPR compliant newsletter tool correctly.

Yes, as a rule. In Austria, § 174 TKG 2021 generally requires prior consent for marketing emails, with narrowly defined exceptions for existing customers. That is why newsletter consent is the default setting in Armiflow. If in doubt, clarify exceptions with your legal adviser before sending to a new list.

Before sending, the recipient filter shows who will be excluded from the list and why, for example because there is no consent or someone has unsubscribed. This helps you understand your recipient count and avoid sending to the wrong people. Anyone running a GDPR compliant newsletter tool needs exactly this transparency.

With an AI newsletter, Armiflow suggests the subject line and copy, based exclusively on facts you have approved. Good copy is ready quickly without the AI inventing offers, prices or figures. You review and edit everything before sending, so you keep full control over every statement that goes out.

Yes. You set a schedule and Armiflow sends automatically at the chosen time. An hourly limit spreads the send, and you can pause and resume at any time, for example if you spot a mistake. That way your newsletter reaches recipients when they are most likely to read it.

Yes. The test email shows you the newsletter exactly as your recipients will receive it. Check layout, links and attachments before the list gets it. The test email is one of the basic rules that let you use the GDPR compliant newsletter tool in a way that is both compliant and professional.

Yes. Armiflow offers a sync with Mailchimp. If you already use Mailchimp, your lists stay there and you connect them with consent records and company profiles in Armiflow. In the CRM you can see who receives which newsletter, without having to change the way you work straight away.

Yes. Armiflow is developed by Kodlogy Technologies GmbH in Vienna. As a newsletter tool from Austria, it knows the TKG and the GDPR and connects your newsletter with CRM, prospecting, invoicing and bookkeeping. If you want a GDPR compliant newsletter tool with a focus on Austria, you get everything in one system.

Yes. The newsletter editor supports attachments, such as a programme, a price list or a guide as a PDF. Keep attachments small so your emails are delivered reliably. With a test email you can check in advance whether the attachment arrives correctly and opens properly on a smartphone.

Through the unsubscribe link included in every email. Anyone who clicks it goes onto the block list and receives no further newsletters. The recipient filter then shows these people as excluded. The unsubscribe link is built in, so you run the GDPR compliant newsletter tool properly without having to think about it.

More questions from practice

A cold email campaign contacts individual companies personally, with follow-ups and approval for each email. A newsletter goes to a list of recipients who have given consent. Both use the same block list, so an unsubscribe applies everywhere and nobody keeps being contacted through another channel.

Consent is stored in the CRM per channel, with its legal basis. How you obtain it, for example through a form on your website with confirmation, is up to you. What matters is that newsletter consent can be proven, because only then can you use the GDPR compliant newsletter tool in a legally sound way.

An hourly limit spreads large sends over several hours. This protects your mail server and your deliverability, because sudden mass sends are often treated as spam by mailbox providers. You set the limit, and Armiflow sends the rest automatically over the following hours until the whole list has been reached.

Yes. Pause stops the send and resume continues it. Emails that have not yet gone out wait until you release the send again. This is helpful if you notice a mistake after starting, such as a wrong link or a forgotten attachment, and want to fix it before more people see it.

No. The AI writes only from approved facts. If a piece of information has not been approved, it does not appear in the text. This protects you from false promises in a newsletter that goes to many people. With an AI newsletter, the final decision always stays with you.

Yes. The email studio lets you use your brand design with logo and colours. Newsletters and prospecting emails look consistent and are immediately recognised as coming from your company. Text snippets also help you avoid rewriting recurring sections such as the footer or signature every time.

With roles and custom roles you decide who may create and send newsletters. Sending stays with the people responsible for it. Other team members can prepare content without accidentally starting a send to the entire list, which keeps your GDPR compliant newsletter tool under clear control.

In Basic and Pro, email sending is unlimited, so you can serve larger lists too. Basic is designed for freelancers with one user and 50 active customers, Pro for teams and agencies without limits. Armiflow filters out recipients without consent automatically. Current figures are on the pricing page.

Yes. Consent applies per channel. Newsletter consent for email does not automatically cover WhatsApp or phone. This reflects the principle that consent must be specific. In Armiflow, WhatsApp runs through ArmiChat, and consent for it is recorded separately from your email list.

Yes. Data access under GDPR Art. 15 and erasure under Art. 17 run directly from the CRM. This lets you answer requests quickly and traceably. It is part of using a GDPR compliant newsletter tool properly, because data subjects can make such requests at any time.

As a rule, no. In Austria, § 174 TKG 2021 generally applies to marketing emails to companies as well. Armiflow protects you by making consent required by default. Whether an exception applies should be checked case by case with your legal adviser before you change the default setting.

A newsletter keeps existing customers and prospects up to date, for example about new services or promotions. Combined with vouchers from the product catalogue, it becomes a simple sales channel. While prospecting reaches new companies, the newsletter nurtures the relationship with those you already know.

Yes. Through the Mailchimp sync you connect your lists with Armiflow. Before sending, the recipient filter shows for whom consent is stored. This lets you take over existing lists and use the GDPR compliant newsletter tool without accidentally emailing contacts who have no proof of consent.

With an AI subject line and AI copy, a draft is ready in a few minutes. Most of your time goes into approving the facts and reviewing the text, which is exactly where it should go. An AI newsletter does not replace your judgement; it replaces the blank page.

Yes. You can create text snippets and templates and reuse them. With the template studio, the AI also creates suitable documents and translates them. Step by step you build a small library, so recurring newsletters no longer have to start from scratch every time you send one.

Send only to recipients with consent, with an unsubscribe link in every email, an hourly limit and a test email before sending. These basic rules are already built into Armiflow. If you use the GDPR compliant newsletter tool, you also only write to people who are actually expecting your emails.

The AI can suggest copy in the language you want, and the template studio translates templates. The interface itself is available in German, English, Turkish and French. Review translated copy before sending like any other draft, because the approval always stays with you.

Yes. Armiflow AI works with all features. You describe in the chat what the newsletter should be about, and the assistant prepares a draft. Sending waits until you confirm in the chat. This combines an AI newsletter with the certainty that nothing goes out without your approval.

Yes. Newsletters and email sending are included in Basic and Pro, and you can try both plans free for 14 days. The pricing page shows the limits of Basic and what Pro adds, with figures taken directly from the Armiflow app. Test the GDPR compliant newsletter tool before choosing a monthly or annual plan.

In the recipient filter. It lists excluded contacts with the reason, such as missing consent or an unsubscribe. You know exactly why the recipient count is smaller than the list. If only consent is missing, obtain it another way, for example through a form on your website.
