Frequently asked questions
How do I find my EmailOctopus API Key?
Log in to your account, navigate to Integrations > API, and click Create Key to generate your unique access token.
Can I update custom fields for a contact?
Yes! The update_contact_profile tool allows you to modify tags and any custom data fields associated with a subscriber.
How do I check the performance of a sent campaign?
Use the get_campaign_summary_report tool with a campaign ID to retrieve real-time metrics including open and click rates.
How does AutoGen connect to MCP servers?
Create an MCP tool adapter and assign it to one or more agents in the group chat. AutoGen agents can then call EmailOctopus tools during their conversation turns.
Can different agents have different MCP tool access?
Yes. AutoGen's role-based architecture lets you assign specific MCP tools to specific agents, so a querying agent has different capabilities than a reviewing agent.
Does AutoGen support human approval for tool calls?
Yes. Configure human-in-the-loop mode so agents pause and request approval before executing sensitive MCP tool calls.
