Manage contacts in Windsurf

Cascade pulls your subscriber data directly into the editor. You can use `list_contacts` to see who is on your lists and `add_contact` to update your database when you finish a new feature. It removes the need to switch tabs to track your outreach. You define the logic, and the agent handles the API calls to keep your lists current.

Track campaign performance in Windsurf

Get real-time feedback on your marketing efforts by running `list_reports` or `get_report_details` through the terminal. Cascade analyzes the output so you see exactly how your audience reacts to your latest blast. Stop guessing which subject lines work. You get the raw numbers inside your workspace, letting you adjust your copy based on actual open rates.

Template control in Windsurf

Access your library of designs with `list_templates` to ensure your code matches your brand identity. You can verify your layout files against your saved templates before you push any changes. This keeps your email design and your application code in sync. Cascade ensures the right assets are used every time you build.
