FAQ

How the automation behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI write the actual email content?

    No. The AI uses the tools to manage the campaign structure and status, but you must provide the email body text yourself.

  • 02

    Will the AI delete my subscriber lists by accident?

    The AI only deletes what you explicitly tell it to delete. It won't perform any destructive actions unless your prompt specifically requests it.

  • 03

    Can I use this to schedule emails?

    Yes, by using the campaign creation and status update tools, you can manage when campaigns are ready to go.

  • 04

    Does the AI see my subscriber data?

    The AI can see list information to manage them, but it only accesses the data necessary to perform the tools you request.

  • 05

    Can the AI add individual subscribers to a list?

    No. The current tools allow for creating and listing entire lists, but they do not include a tool for adding single email addresses.
