Short answer

How can I sync chat info to Flodesk fields?

Your AI uses the Flodesk MCP to find specific subscribers and push new information into their custom metadata fields. This keeps your audience profiles updated with everything you learn during interactions. You'll see the specific steps and logic below.

Data outcomes

Where your data lands.

The AI maps conversation details to your existing Flodesk structure.

DATA

Updated profiles

The AI uses the upsert_subscriber tool to add or change custom field values. Your Flodesk list reflects the new information immediately.

SYNC

Verified contacts

By using get_subscriber, the AI checks for existing email addresses. This prevents creating duplicate entries for people you already know.

LOG

Clean metadata

Information is organized into specific custom fields. This makes your segmentation and email targeting much more precise.

REVIEW

Human oversight

The AI won't delete any subscribers or change your email templates. You stay in control of your actual email campaigns and list deletions.

The workflow

What your AI does when information is gathered.

The AI acts as the bridge between your conversation and your Flodesk account.

  1. Identify the user

    The AI looks up the person in your Flodesk list using their email address to ensure it has the right profile.

    get_subscriber

  2. Extract details

    The agent pulls specific facts, like preferences or interests, from your current chat session.

    get_subscriber

  3. Update metadata

    The AI writes those new details into the custom fields assigned to that subscriber.

    upsert_subscriber

  4. Confirm changes
