Short answer

How can I add new subscribers to my Cakemail lists using AI?

Tell your AI to take a contact from your current chat and add them to a specific Cakemail list. The AI uses the create_contact tool to handle the data entry for you. You'll see how it organizes these leads below.

The results of your request.

The AI handles the data transfer so you don't have to copy and paste email addresses manually.

New contact created

The AI builds a new profile in Cakemail. The contact is ready for your next campaign immediately.

ORGANIZED

Correct list placement

The AI identifies the right destination list. Your leads land in the specific segment you requested.
