Short answer

How can I send transactional emails using my AI?

Your agent uses Mailjet to trigger branded templates or send plain text messages. It maps your contact data to the right fields and handles the delivery. You'll see how the agent manages templates and data below.

Email outcomes

What you get

The agent handles the technical delivery so you don't have to.

BRANDED

Template delivery

The AI picks a Mailjet template and fills it with your data. This keeps your brand looking consistent every time.

PLAIN

Direct text

For simple updates, the agent sends plain text messages. It's perfect for quick notifications that don't need a layout.

DATA

Contact mapping

The agent pulls info from your contact lists to populate template variables. It makes sure names and details land in the right spots.

HUMAN

Manual review

You stay in control of the final send. The AI prepares the message, but you decide when it actually goes out.

The workflow

What your AI does when you ask for an email.

The agent moves from finding your templates to sending the message.

  1. Find templates

    The agent checks your Mailjet account to see which branded layouts you have ready to use.

    list_email_templates

  2. Fill templates

    The AI takes your contact data and maps it to the variables in your chosen template.

    send_template_email

  3. Send plain text

    If you don't need a template, the agent sends a simple text-only message instead.

    send_plain_email

  4. Execute send

    The agent completes the request and confirms the email is sent to the recipient.
