Manage your contacts in Windsurf

Stop switching tabs to update user data. Windsurf can use `create_contact` or `update_contact` to keep your subscriber profiles accurate without leaving the editor. Cascade pulls existing contact info via `find_contact` to ensure your code logic matches the current state of your database.

Trigger email events via Windsurf

Send events directly into your marketing pipeline by calling `send_event`. You define the action, and the server handles the delivery to your Loops account. This keeps your communication logic tied to your application code. Your agent can fire these events as soon as a user completes a signup flow.

Automate transactional emails in Windsurf

Send password resets or order confirmations instantly using `send_transactional_email`. You pass the variables and the ID, and the server does the heavy lifting. Check your recent activity with `list_transactional_emails` to verify delivery status. It gives you immediate feedback on whether your triggers are firing as expected.
