Manage subscribers in Claude Desktop

Add or remove participants from your campaigns without leaving your chat window. You can use `add_subscriber` to bring new people into the loop or `delete_subscriber` when someone needs to go. Updating existing records is just as quick. Simply call `update_subscriber` to change details, ensuring your campaign data stays current while you work.

Pull campaign insights

Get a clear view of your growth by checking the numbers. Use `get_leaderboard` to see who is driving the most traffic, or `list_subscribers` to get a full roster for any active list. Need to look at the big picture? Use `list_lists` to see every campaign you have running. It keeps your data right in front of you.

Track conversion events

See exactly how your referral program performs in real time. The `track_conversion` tool lets your agent log events as they happen, giving you instant feedback on your marketing efforts. Check your progress by looking at recent activity. Call `list_transactions` to review the latest conversion data and keep your strategy sharp.
