Perplexity

Query and sort subscribers inside Claude Desktop

The Flodesk MCP Server lets you pull subscriber data straight into Claude Desktop without switching tabs. This connection lets Claude read your email database directly through `list_subscribers` and `get_subscriber` commands, pulling live profiles right into your chat window. You can ask your local desktop app to filter for recent sign-ups or identify inactive users. It queries the Flodesk API in real-time, meaning you get actual subscriber data without exporting CSVs or writing script files.

Segment and tag new contacts on the fly

This Flodesk integration lets Claude Desktop organize your audience segments directly from your conversation. The server exposes `add_to_segment` and `create_subscriber` so your desktop agent can build out your audience groups without manual data entry. Tell the app to sort a raw text list of emails, and it will run the sequential API calls to update your segments. It handles the mapping behind the scenes, using `create_custom_field` to keep your subscriber metadata clean.

Launch email workflows from your desktop chat

This Flodesk integration gives Claude Desktop the power to run your automated email workflows from a prompt. Kick off your marketing funnels without logging into the web dashboard using `trigger_workflow` and `list_workflows` directly from your chat. If you just finished drafting a sequence, you can tell the desktop agent to push a specific user into that funnel. It executes the API call instantly, moving subscribers into active workflows with zero manual clicking.
