Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Sendlane

Ask your AI how last week's campaign performed, what a contact has opened and ordered, or to tag everyone who signed up at an event. It reads contacts, lists, segments, tags, custom fields and campaigns, and shows a contact's activity history and subscriptions. It can add contacts to lists, create lists and tags, tag contacts, set custom fields and unsubscribe or remove contacts, with your approval if you want it.

Questions

What can the AI do in Sendlane?

The AI can search and read contacts with their tags, custom fields, subscriptions, segments and activity history, and read lists, segments, tags, custom fields and campaigns with their reports. It can create lists and tags, add or update contacts on a list, tag contacts, set custom field values, unsubscribe a contact and remove a contact from a list.

Does the AI see my Sendlane credentials?

No. Your Sendlane 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 with lookups and reports only. Unsubscribing a contact stops your emails to them, and removing a contact from a list takes them off it, so both 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 Sendlane account.

Can the AI send campaigns in Sendlane?

No. The tools read campaigns and their performance reports, but none of them create or send a campaign. The AI works with contacts, lists, tags, segments and custom fields, and you send campaigns from Sendlane as usual.
