EmailOctopus
Your AI agent captures emails, adds contacts to the right EmailOctopus lists with custom tags, and handles unsubscribe requests, all within the chat. Subscribers grow while your team focuses on crafting great campaigns, not manual list management.
From adding tagged subscribers to retrieving campaign performance, your AI agent handles the entire EmailOctopus workflow without anyone touching the dashboard.
EmailOctopus
Discover how businesses grow their email audiences using AI agents connected to EmailOctopus, turning casual visitors into engaged subscribers automatically.
A blog reader finishes an article and your AI Agent asks if they want weekly insights delivered to their inbox. The reader says yes and shares their email. The agent creates the contact in your EmailOctopus 'Weekly Digest' list with a 'blog-reader' tag and confirms the subscription. No popup forms, no page redirects, just a natural conversation that grows your list.
A subscriber messages your WhatsApp channel saying they want to stop receiving promotional emails. Your AI Agent identifies their email, calls EmailOctopus's unsubscribe endpoint for the relevant list, and confirms the removal. The subscriber gets immediate confirmation and your team never handles the request manually, keeping you CAN-SPAM and GDPR compliant.
Your marketing lead asks the AI Agent for a quick summary of recent campaigns before a Monday standup. The agent pulls the latest campaign data from EmailOctopus, showing subject lines, send dates, and delivery status. The team reviews campaign activity in seconds without logging into the EmailOctopus dashboard or preparing a separate report.

FAQs
The agent calls EmailOctopus's Create Contact endpoint with the subscriber's email, the target list ID, and any custom fields like first name or company. You can also assign tags like 'website-lead' or 'vip' and set the initial status to SUBSCRIBED or PENDING. The contact appears in your list within seconds of the conversation.
Yes. The EmailOctopus Create Contact endpoint accepts a fields object for custom data like FirstName, LastName, or any fields you have configured in your list. Tags are passed as an array, so the agent can label contacts based on conversation context, like tagging someone as 'pricing-inquiry' or 'free-trial'.
The agent calls EmailOctopus's Unsubscribe Contact endpoint with the person's email and the relevant list ID. This changes their status to UNSUBSCRIBED, meaning they will no longer receive emails from that list. The contact record remains in your list for reporting purposes but receives no further messages.
No. Tars queries your EmailOctopus account in real time through the API. Subscriber emails, list data, and campaign details are fetched during conversations and used only to complete the current interaction. Tars does not maintain a separate subscriber database.
Yes. The agent can permanently delete a contact using EmailOctopus's Delete Contact endpoint. This is an irreversible action that removes the contact record entirely from the specified list, satisfying GDPR Article 17 deletion requests. The agent confirms the deletion to the requester in the conversation.
EmailOctopus forms are static embeds. Tars AI Agents have actual conversations, asking follow-up questions, applying relevant tags based on context, and managing multiple lists dynamically. Plus, the agent works across WhatsApp, SMS, and web, reaching audiences where traditional forms cannot.
Log into your EmailOctopus account, go to your account settings, and locate the API keys section. Copy your key and paste it in the Tars dashboard under Tools when adding EmailOctopus. Once connected, attach the tool to your AI Agent Gambit to enable subscriber management during conversations.
EmailOctopus enforces a rate limit of 10 API requests per second. For typical conversational use, this is more than sufficient since each chat interaction creates one contact at a time. If you anticipate high-volume concurrent signups, the agent queues requests to stay within limits and retries if needed.
Don't limit your AI Agent to basic conversations. Watch how to configure and add powerful tools making your agent smarter and more functional.
