The results of automation

Where your leads land

What happens when your AI takes over your Flodesk tasks.

AUTOMATION

Instant lead placement

The AI places new subscribers into the correct email sequences. You don't have to manually tag or move people around.

SEGMENTATION

Targeted email paths

Your agent assigns leads to specific workflows based on your instructions. This keeps your messaging relevant to every new contact.

EFFICIENCY

Zero manual entry

The AI handles the data transfer between your lead sources and Flodesk. It removes the need to copy and paste email addresses.

HUMAN

Strategic oversight

You stay in control of the high-level strategy. The AI handles the repetitive data entry while you decide which workflows to build.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

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

  1. Identify the lead

    Your agent processes the contact information you provide or the data it finds in your other connected tools.

    upsert_subscriber

  2. Create the contact

    The AI sends the email address and name to Flodesk to ensure the subscriber exists in your list.

    upsert_subscriber

  3. Assign the workflow

    The agent moves that specific subscriber into the designated email sequence you requested.

    add_subscriber_to_workflow

FAQ

How this task behaves

    No. The current tools only allow for adding or updating subscribers and placing them in workflows.

    No. The AI only manages subscriber placement and contact data. It cannot edit your actual email designs or content.

  • 03

    Does the AI handle the actual sending of the emails?

    No. Flodesk handles the delivery of the emails once the AI has successfully added the subscriber to the workflow.

  • 04

    Yes. The tool allows the AI to update contact details for people already in your Flodesk account.
