From here, the canvas could continue on and send a welcome message or send only newsletters that are completed. For example, step 1 might be a welcome message and step 2 might trigger a separate campaign that sends a newsletter. This way you could slowly add to the canvas as new newsletters are completed and new users only get what has been completed to date.
I hope that helps but let us know if you need more help. 😊
