Substack

Substack

Email newsletters and publication hubs with comments and archives.

Integration features

Members will click “Read Publication” on your portalry to launch Substack. Use this checklist to give them a smooth landing every time.

Portalry recognises both substack.com publications and custom domains powered by Substack.

What Portalry handles for you

  • Detects standard publication URLs like https://yourname.substack.com.
  • Also detects custom domains when metadata includes Substack signals (title, image CDN, and publication description text).
  • Uses the publication title as the portal name and falls back to the URL slug when needed.

Setup checklist

  1. Copy your publication URL (for example, https://frankmerenda.substack.com or https://www.a16z.news).
  2. Paste it into Portalry and verify the publication name and image are correct.
  3. If you publish on a custom domain, keep Substack metadata enabled so Portalry can recognise the link.

What still lives in the platform

  • Portalry cannot manage subscriptions, paywalls, or publication settings—those remain in Substack.
  • Comments, subscriber data, and analytics stay inside Substack.

Extras & best practices

  • Link directly to your publication homepage to keep one stable destination for recurring reminders.
