([tumblr.com](https://www.tumblr.com/unwrapping/147147742877/post-by-email?utm_source=openai))\n\nHere\u2019s what\u2019s going on and what alternatives you have:\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\uded1 What was \u201cPost by Email\u201d?\n\n- Used to allow each blog to have a private email address.  \n- Anything emailed to that address would automatically become a post on your blog.  \n- You could use this with attachments (photos, text, etc.) to post content without logging into the app or site.\u2002([catalogimages.wiley.com](https://catalogimages.wiley.com/images/db/pdf/9781118335956.excerpt.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \ud83d\udd27 Why you can\u2019t do it anymore\n\n- Tumblr officially discontinued this feature.  \n- The private email address for posting no longer appears in blog settings.\u2002([tumblr.com](https://www.tumblr.com/unwrapping/147147742877/post-by-email?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### \u2705 What you can do instead\n\nWhile you can\u2019t post via email directly, there **are** some ways to automate posts potentially using email or integrations:\n\n- **IFTTT (If This Then That)** \u2014 You can set up an automation so that, for example, when you receive or send an email with certain tags or content, a post gets created on your Tumblr.\u2002([ifttt.com](https://ifttt.com/connect/email/tumblr?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Zapier** \u2014 Can be used similarly, where email triggers something that creates a Tumblr post.\u2002([zapier.com](https://zapier.com/apps/email/integrations/tumblr/4959/share-tumblr-posts-via-email?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Newsletter tools / platforms** \u2014 Some services (like Buttondown) allow you to connect your Tumblr account and have your newsletter automatically cross-posted to Tumblr.\u2002([buttondown.com](https://buttondown.com/blog/2025-03-10?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you want, I can walk you through setting up one of those integrations (e.g. via IFTTT or Zapier) so you *can* still post content from email, even though native email posting is gone. Do you want me to do that?"
