Questions, answered
How do I connect Dotdigital to Claude?
First connect Dotdigital in Elaichi, which asks for a Dotdigital API key rather than a full sign-in, and there is no client ID or secret to generate. Then in Claude open Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste the endpoint https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Elaichi account when Claude asks, and Dotdigital campaigns, sends and reports are available in the chat.
Does Dotdigital work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once Dotdigital is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, any other MCP client and the Elaichi Agent. You connect Dotdigital once and every client picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my Dotdigital data?
An agent can list your Dotdigital campaigns, create new ones, copy or update existing ones, add attachments, set up split tests and schedule sends, including send time optimization. It can also read the results: opens, clicks grouped by link, activity since a given date and per-campaign summaries. Because Dotdigital exposes a lot of actions, short concrete asks such as 'clicks for the spring sale campaign' work better than long sentences.
Does connecting Dotdigital give the AI everything in my account?
No. An agent working through Elaichi only reaches what the Dotdigital API key it was connected with can already reach, and it acts as the person who signed in. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to reporting only, but it can never widen access beyond what Dotdigital itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Dotdigital?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow reading Dotdigital campaign reports while restricting deleting campaigns, removing attachments or scheduling sends. A restricted action still appears in Elaichi's tool search, flagged as restricted, but Claude, ChatGPT or any other client cannot run it, whatever the prompt says.
What happens to a Dotdigital connection when someone leaves?
Offboarding a person in Elaichi ends their access to Dotdigital through every AI client at once. A Dotdigital connection they shared keeps working for everyone else on the team. If you later want it gone entirely, disconnecting Dotdigital once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client together.
Does the Dotdigital MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?
Yes. Dotdigital is reached over the same MCP endpoint every client uses, so anything that speaks MCP can call it — Gemini, Codex, Claude Code, Windsurf, Cline, Zed and OpenCode among them — alongside Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot, and the Elaichi Agent. The tools on offer and the access behind them are identical whichever client asks. Only the setup screen differs.
Is Elaichi an alternative to Zapier MCP for Dotdigital?
Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Dotdigital. Zapier MCP fits a team that already automates in Zapier, since each person signs in and acts as themselves in that account. Elaichi fits when IT wants one address for the whole company, per-tool rules by role, and a record of every Dotdigital call.
How is Elaichi different from Composio for Dotdigital?
Composio gives AI agents tools and sign-in handling across 1,000+ apps, for developers building agents or people using an assistant, billed per tool call. Elaichi gives a company's own people governed access to Dotdigital: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
