After you connect your newsletter and activate your subscription or Trial, HeyNews builds your AI Writer in the background. Until it is ready, the dashboard shows a waiting message. Once a writer is ready, you can start drafting.

If you've connected beehiiv or Kit, the Dashboard shows your most recent sent issues with send date, recipient count, open rate, and click rate.
