• Scalability: Handle large-scale email operations without increasing manual workload, making it easier to manage growing lists and campaigns.

If your business relies on timely email marketing, automation can help you respond to user actions, onboard new subscribers, and nurture leads without delay.

How to Use It

To use the Emailoctopus Automation skill on the Happycapy Skills platform, you will need:

• An Emailoctopus account with API access
• Access to Rube MCP (Composio)
• The skill installed from the official repository: composio-skills/emailoctopus-automation

Step 1: Connect Emailoctopus to Rube MCP

1. Obtain your Emailoctopus API key from the Emailoctopus dashboard.
2. In Rube MCP, add Emailoctopus as a connected service using your API key.
3. Install the Emailoctopus Automation skill from the Happycapy Skills library.

Step 2: Build an Automation Workflow

Once connected, you can use Emailoctopus blocks in your automation pipelines. Below are some common actions you can automate:

• Add subscriber to a list
• Remove subscriber
• Update subscriber details
• Send a campaign

Example: Add a Subscriber When a User Signs Up

Suppose you want to automatically add new users to an Emailoctopus list when they register on your web app. Here is a sample workflow using Rube MCP:

## Rube MCP workflow YAML snippet
steps:
  - trigger: user_signup
  - action:
      use: emailoctopus-automation:add-subscriber
      with:
        list_id: "YOUR_LIST_ID"
        email_address: "{{trigger.email}}"
        fields:
          FirstName: "{{trigger.first_name}}"
          LastName: "{{trigger.last_name}}"
  - action:
      use: slack:send-message
      with:
        channel: "#marketing"
        text: "A new subscriber was added: {{trigger.email}}"

This example demonstrates how the skill can be combined with other tools (like Slack) in a single automation.

Example: Send a Campaign

You can also trigger an Emailoctopus campaign automatically:

steps:
  - trigger: schedule
    cron: "0 9 * * MON" # Every Monday at 9 AM
  - action:
      use: emailoctopus-automation:send-campaign
      with:
        campaign_id: "YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID"

Step 3: Monitor and Adjust

Rube MCP provides logs and monitoring tools so you can track the results of your automations. Review outcomes and adjust your workflows as needed for optimal performance.

When to Use It

Consider using the Emailoctopus Automation skill in scenarios such as:

• User onboarding: Automatically add new users or leads to email lists after signup or purchase.

This skill is ideal when you need to reduce manual effort in your email marketing processes or when you want to build cross-platform automations involving Emailoctopus.
