Okay this takes it of SS, which is not ideal, but it will accomplish your goals I think, but wil require that you are using Google Analytics and that you have a confirmation page when there is a subscription completed.

Assuming yes then here is what you would do:

1. Set a Goal in Google Analytics, such  the destination page that matches the URL of your confirmation page.

2. Setup an email alert using this page to tell you how https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/1033021?hl=en, 

That way you get your automation the way you want it.

Agree--this feature would be so helpful. Any chance we could get a notification for every new subscriber?

It would also be helpful to customize the subscriber form a little more, specifically the ability to add more contact fields. 

We manage a client's site on Wordpress and receive an email notification everyone someone subscribes via Constant Contact plugin. Squarespace is our preferred platform, but not having this feature is a bit of a hindrance to business growth!

I think I found an easy fix for this. Connect a Google Sheet to your newsletter block and then set up an email notification any time the sheet is updated.

In Squarespace > Edit Newsletter Block > Storage > Other Options > Connect Google Drive

In Google Sheet > click Help > type Edit Notifications > Choose notify me when any changes are made > Send email right away > Save

I'm really enjoying how much easier SS is for email automation than Mailchimp. However, this seems like a very important feature that SS is lacking. I would appreciate having it! Thanks to all who have already chimed in to support it!

Same here, would love to have the notification feature because it is really a basic function while would benefits all users who are creating their email automations!

THANK YOU Heather - this worked for me! I appreciate you sharing! 

P.S. And I fully agree with other users, it's baffling why Squarespace are being so stubborn on this. Surely it can't be that tricky to code...
