## Common Agent Operations (via MCP)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create an email sequence
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"Create a 5-email onboarding sequence for new SaaS trial users.
|
||
|
|
Email 1: Welcome + what to do first (send immediately)
|
||
|
|
Email 2: Key feature highlight (day 2)
|
||
|
|
Email 3: Use case / success story (day 4)
|
||
|
|
Email 4: Check-in + support offer (day 7)
|
||
|
|
Email 5: Upgrade prompt (day 12)"
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nitrosend builds the sequence, timing, and sends — no manual setup in a dashboard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Send a transactional email
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"Send a password reset email to user@example.com with a reset link valid for 1 hour."
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Create a campaign
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"Create a re-engagement campaign for subscribers who haven't opened in 90 days.
|
||
|
|
Subject line variants: [A] 'We miss you', [B] 'Still interested in [topic]?'
|
||
|
|
Test both, send winner to remaining list after 4 hours."
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Check sequence performance
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"Show me open rates, click rates, and unsubscribes for the onboarding sequence."
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
### Import a list
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
"Import this CSV of 2,000 subscribers from our Mailchimp export."
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Deliverability Setup
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Nitrosend handles this automatically on signup:
|
||
|
|
- DKIM signing
|
||
|
|
- SPF record configuration
|
||
|
|
- DMARC policy
|
||
|
|
- Dedicated IP provisioning (Pro+)
|
||
|
|
- IP warmup schedule
|
||
|
|
|

|
## When to Use
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Building email sequences via AI without touching a dashboard
|
||
|
|
- Teams already using Claude Code or other AI coding tools as their primary workflow
|
||
|
|
- Combining transactional (password resets, receipts) and marketing (nurture, campaigns) in one place
|
||
|
|
- Rapid sequence prototyping — describe the sequence, get it built
|
||
|
|
- Migrating from Mailchimp/Klaviyo and wanting AI control going forward
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## When to Use Something Else
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- **Customer.io** — if you need complex event-based branching logic and behavioral triggers
|
||
|
|
- **Klaviyo** — if you're in e-commerce and need deep Shopify integration
|
||
|
|
- **Resend** — if you need transactional-only and prefer a pure API/code approach
|
||
|
|
- **Kit** — if you're a creator or newsletter-first
|
||
