UK email marketing managers earn £35,000–£45,000/year managing campaigns, reporting, and list reactivation. This n8n template automates 75% of that execution work. Saves 10 hours/week for ~£15/mo in tool costs.
What it does
- Campaign creation: Takes brief via Telegram, generates email draft using AI (subject line, body, CTA)
- Performance reporting: Pulls MailerLite stats (open rate, CTR, unsubscribes, bounces) on demand
- Cold subscriber reactivation: Identifies inactive contacts, drafts re-engagement campaigns
Draft-first workflow. Human approves before sending.
Time saved
10 hours/week and using a known chat interface. This demo is using N8N chat but can easily be replaced.
- Campaign drafting: 3-4 hours → 5 minutes.
- Performance reports: 2 hours → 30 seconds.
- Cold list analysis: 2-3 hours → 2 minutes.
Who does this benefit
UK e-commerce stores, SaaS companies, content creators with email lists, agencies managing multiple MailerLite accounts. Replaces £35k-£45k/yr email marketing manager role for routine execution tasks.
Get the template
The n8n workflow is free: n8n library link. Import to your n8n instance (self-hosted or cloud).
What you need
- n8n (free self-hosted or £18/mo cloud)
- MailerLite account (free up to 1,000 subscribers)
- OpenRouter Claude API (~£3-8/mo depending on volume)

- Google Sheets (free)
- Setup time: 1-2 hours first time, 30 minutes if familiar with n8n
Total monthly cost: ~£15/mo (n8n cloud + Claude API).
What this won’t do
Does not replace strategic email marketing decisions. Won’t write brand-specific copy without clear brief (Claude needs context).
MailerLite-only — won’t work with Mailchimp, ConvertKit, or other ESPs without workflow modification.
Cold reactivation identifies inactive subscribers but doesn’t guarantee re-engagement (that’s on your offer). Draft-first means you still approve every send — not fully autonomous.
Won’t segment lists beyond basic MailerLite fields (advanced segmentation requires manual setup). Performance reports are descriptive, not prescriptive — won’t tell you why open rates dropped.
Free MailerLite tier caps at 500 subscribers — larger lists require paid plan (£8-£40/mo).
Why this matters
Agencies charge £2,400–£4,000/mo for email marketing retention work. This template replicates the execution layer for £15/mo. You keep strategic control, automate the repetitive bits.
