Building Brevo email campaigns inside Windsurf

The `create_email_campaign` tool lets Cascade draft, configure, and prepare marketing blasts inside your editor. Cascade reads your local project files, drafts the HTML copy, and builds the campaign without you copying code back and forth. Once the draft is ready, Cascade uses `list_senders` to select an authorized domain and schedules the send. You get a fully built campaign ready to go out to your subscribers without leaving your workspace.

Automated list management with this MCP Server

The `create_contact` tool handles subscriber onboarding by adding new emails directly to your audience lists. Cascade detects new user signups from your local database logs and automatically updates your marketing database. Cascade then runs `list_contact_lists` to find the target audience segment and assigns the new contact using `get_contact_list`. This keeps your marketing lists synchronized with your active application database in real time.

Analyzing delivery stats in Cascade

The `get_smtp_statistics` tool pulls transactional mail metrics directly into the Windsurf terminal interface. Cascade monitors your outgoing system emails, catches delivery failures, and flags bad addresses before they hurt your domain reputation. If delivery rates drop, Cascade runs `list_email_campaigns` to compare performance across your active marketing channels. You see exactly which templates are bouncing so you can fix the code immediately.
