Windsurf: Automate Contact Updates

Need to update a contact record? You can use `create_marketing_contact` to either create a brand-new entry or merge data if the person already exists. This keeps your marketing database clean and current. This function handles merging gracefully, so you don't have to worry about double entries when updating user information.

List and Clean Suppressed Emails

Don't waste sends on dead ends. Check `list_bounces` to see all bounced email records for list cleaning efforts. You can even proactively prune suppression lists using `delete_bounce` if an address is no longer invalid. It’s critical to understand that `list_spam_reports` tracks user-reported complaints, which should be handled carefully.

Dispatch Emails via MCP Server

Sending emails from your agent is straightforward. Use `dispatch_email` and make sure you always specify a verified sender email in the `from_email` field. This ensures deliverability. Beyond sending, you can check global performance using `get_delivery_stats`, which requires a date format like YYYY-MM-DD.
