Manage Contacts for Targeted Sends

Need to clean up or expand your contact list? Run `get_list_contacts` first. This pulls subscriber details—email, name, status—so you know exactly who's on the roster before sending anything. If you find stale addresses, use `get_blocked_contacts`. That shows you which emails bounced and why. You keep your list clean that way, meaning better delivery rates for every campaign.

Build and Deploy New Campaigns

Starting a new email blast? Use `create_campaign` to set up the basics—name, subject, sender info. It handles all the setup boilerplate so you just focus on the copy. It's also easy to build out your list structure with `create_list`. You give it a name; Windsurf builds the container, ready for contacts and targeted sends.

Analyze Campaign Performance Metrics

Don't just hit send and forget. Use `get_campaign_report` to see how things actually went. This gives you total sent counts, bounces, opens, clicks, and even spam complaints. Want a high-level view? Run `get_campaigns`. That tool lists all your campaigns—name, status, date—giving you a quick portfolio overview without digging through individual reports.
