Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Flodesk

Ask your AI who is on a segment, whether a subscriber is still active, or to add someone to a workflow in Flodesk. It can create and update subscribers with custom fields, create segments, and search your email campaigns by name or status. List work gets done in a chat instead of clicking through the dashboard.

Try asking

“Is [email protected] subscribed, and which segments is she in?”
The AI looks up the subscriber by email and shows her status, segments and custom field values.
“Add [email protected] as a subscriber with first name Jonas and put him in the Newsletter segment.”
It finds the segment ID, then creates the subscriber with the name and segment. It can send a double opt-in email if you ask for it.
“Start the welcome workflow for the three people who signed up at the workshop.”
It lists your workflows to find the welcome sequence and adds each subscriber to it. An active workflow then starts sending its emails.

What your AI can do

Subscribers

Look up, add and update subscribers with names, custom fields and segments, list them by status, and unsubscribe people who ask.

Segments and workflows

Create segments, add or remove subscribers from segments, and add or remove subscribers from email workflows.

Campaigns and fields

Search email campaigns by text or status, and list your custom fields and their keys.

“How many bounced subscribers do we have?”
It lists subscribers filtered by status bounced, page by page.
“Which campaigns are scheduled right now?”
It searches your campaigns with status scheduled and lists them. This is read-only.
“Unsubscribe [email protected], he asked us to stop emailing him.”
It unsubscribes him from all marketing emails, so he stops receiving your emails.

Questions

What can the AI do in Flodesk?

The AI can read subscribers, segments, custom fields, workflows and campaigns. It can create and update subscribers, create segments, add or remove subscribers from segments and workflows, and unsubscribe a subscriber from all marketing emails. Campaigns are search only.

Does the AI see my Flodesk credentials?

No. Your Flodesk credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Adding someone to a segment or workflow can start automated emails, and unsubscribing stops all your emails to them, so these can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

PipMCP has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Flodesk account.

Can the AI send email campaigns?

No. The AI can search your campaigns and see their status, but it cannot create or send them. Emails only go out through Flodesk itself, for example when the AI adds a subscriber to an active workflow or a segment that triggers one, or when a new subscriber gets a double opt-in email.
