With the official Mailercloud MCP server connected to Claude, ChatGPT or another AI assistant, you can do everyday email marketing by asking in plain words. Below are the jobs Mailercloud customers use most, each with a prompt to copy and what the assistant gives back. Swap in your own campaign, list or contact names.

Name things clearly: "my October newsletter", "the VIP list". If several match, the assistant asks which one.
Read previews before you say yes: anything that sends, schedules or deletes shows you what will happen first.
Start a new chat for a new job: short, focused chats give better answers.
"What can you do with my Mailercloud account? Give me a quick overview of where things stand."
You get: your plan and usage, lists, recent campaigns and sending setup, plus what you can do from chat and what's done in the app. In Claude, the getting_started prompt in the + menu does the same.
"How did my last campaign do? Explain the open and click rates in plain words."
"Compare my last three campaigns. Which subject line worked best, and why?"
"Which links got the most clicks in the Summer Sale campaign?"
"Did Gmail or Outlook readers engage more with my last newsletter?"
You get: the numbers compared with industry benchmarks, what stands out, and what to try next. For a month-end summary, use the monthly_review prompt.
"Create a draft campaign for our Diwali sale: 20% off everything until 5 November, sent to the Customers list. Use a clean design with our logo, one big button to https://www.example-shop.com/sale, and our address in the footer."
You get: a preview of the email, designed in Mailercloud's drag-and-drop editor. After you approve, it's saved as a draft; open it in Mailercloud to check before scheduling. Give real links and your postal address; the assistant asks if they're missing. The plan_campaign prompt walks you through it step by step.
Tip: ask for the contact's first name in the greeting, and for a fallback that reads well when the name is missing, such as "Hi there".
"In my Diwali draft, change the button text to 'Shop the sale' and make the heading shorter."
"Give me three more curious subject lines for the October newsletter, then use the one I pick."
You get: only the parts you asked about change, shown to you before saving. This works on emails you built yourself in the editor too.
"Check my Diwali draft before I send it: links, subject line, alt text and anything that could hurt delivery. Then send a test to me at [email protected]."
You get: a short fix list in priority order, then a test email in your inbox. The audit_draft prompt does the same check.
"Schedule the Diwali campaign for Friday at 10am India time."
You get: a preview of the campaign, its lists and the exact send time. It's scheduled only after you reply yes.
"Show me everything about [email protected]: lists, tags and recent activity."
"Add [email protected] to the Customers list with first name Rahul and city Pune."
"Tag [email protected] as VIP."
"Add these 10 people from today's event to the Event Leads list." (then paste names and emails)
You get: the contact's details, or a confirmation of who was added. New contacts can take a few minutes to show up in lookups. For large files, use Import in Mailercloud.
"Help me clean my Newsletter list. How many contacts haven't opened anything in six months, and what should I do about them?"
You get: a health check and suggested steps, such as a win-back segment. Nobody is removed or blocked without a preview and your yes. The clean_my_list prompt guides you through it.
"Make a segment of contacts in India who clicked a campaign in the last month."
"Make a segment of people tagged VIP who haven't opened my last five campaigns."
You get: a saved segment and how many contacts are in it. Segments can use tags, campaign activity and contact details such as country or city. Segments on your own custom fields are built in Mailercloud under Audience > Segments for now.
"Unsubscribe [email protected]." or "Block these three addresses from all future transactional emails."
You get: a preview of who will be affected, then the change after your yes.
"Are my sending domains set up correctly? Tell me what's missing in simple terms."
"Give me a health check of my recent campaigns: bounces, spam complaints and unsubscribes."
"Did my last campaign land in the inbox or spam at Gmail and Outlook?" (needs the Inbox Tracker add-on)
You get: each SPF, DKIM and DMARC record's status with the exact fix, or a summary of warning signs and what to do.
"What's the best day and time to send to my audience, based on my past campaigns?"
"My open rate dropped this month. What could be causing it, and what should I check first?"
You get: advice based on your own Mailercloud results, not just general tips.
Building automations, adding senders, uploading an image from your computer and billing are done in the Mailercloud app; the assistant tells you where. Ready for more? See Mailercloud + AI for power users and the tool reference. Need help? [email protected]
