Short answer

How can I send emails through my AI?

Your AI uses Listmonk to find specific subscribers and trigger existing templates. It sends these messages immediately based on your instructions. You get a direct way to handle user notifications without manual exports.

Email automation outcomes

Where your messages land.

The agent moves data from your chat to your Listmonk instance.

DELIVERY

Instant notifications

The AI sends template-based emails to your users. This happens the moment your agent triggers the command.

LOOKUP

Subscriber identification

Your agent finds the right person in your Listmonk database. It pulls the necessary contact details to ensure the email hits the right inbox.

MANAGEMENT

Template selection

The AI scans your available Listmonk templates. It picks the correct one to match the context of your conversation.

  3. Send the message

    The agent executes the delivery of the chosen template to the identified subscriber.
