What teams do with Flodesk through Elaichi

Ask in plain English. Each person’s AI can do only what they’re allowed to, and every action it takes in Flodesk is logged.

  • Marketing

    Set up a segment for a launch

    Ask for a new Flodesk segment named for the campaign you are about to run, pick its color from the ones already in your account, and have it ready before the emails are written.

  • Sales

    Add a new lead to the list

    After a call, give the name and email address and have the person added as a Flodesk subscriber, so they start receiving the right emails without anyone opening Flodesk.

  • Events

    Load attendees after a webinar

    Paste a registration list and have each attendee created as a Flodesk subscriber, then check the count against the sign-up sheet.

  • Support

    Check what a subscriber is receiving

    Look up a subscriber by their record and see what Flodesk holds for them when someone writes in asking why they got, or did not get, an email.

  • Operations

    Honor a removal request the same day

    When someone asks to be taken off your emails, find their Flodesk subscriber record and remove it, with the action recorded in the audit log.

  • Marketing

    Review workflows and custom fields

    Ask which Flodesk workflows are live and which custom fields exist before a campaign, and add a missing field, such as company or plan, so the next emails can use it.

Try asking

  • “List Flodesk segments and how many subscribers each holds.”
  • “Add these three subscribers to the Welcome segment.”
  • “Which Flodesk workflows are live right now?”

For IT and engineering

Elaichi vs Zapier MCP vs Composio for Flodesk

All three can connect Flodesk to an AI assistant, and all three have admin controls. They differ in where access lives and how you pay.

Elaichi compared with Zapier MCP and Composio for Flodesk, by what to check
What to check Elaichi Zapier MCP Composio
Where the AI connects One address for the whole organization. https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp A server per member, created at sign-in. An MCP endpoint per team, or an SDK.
Control over Flodesk tools Allow or restrict single Flodesk tools, per role or user. App and action restrictions on the account. Role permissions, down to the action.
Record of calls One audit entry per Flodesk call. A History tab of tool calls. A log of every tool call.
Single sign-on SAML or OIDC, plus SCIM, on Gold. SAML on Enterprise. SAML and OIDC on Enterprise.
Price Free for one person; $15 per user per month on Gold. 2 tasks per successful call. Billed per tool call.

Longer take: Zapier MCP alternative and when you don't need an MCP gateway.

Flodesk tools for your AI agents

18 tools are ready to call through Elaichi's MCP endpoint the moment you connect Flodesk, governed by the same roles, restrictions, and audit log as everything else in Elaichi.

Questions, answered

How do I connect Flodesk to Claude?

First, connect Flodesk in Elaichi by pasting the API key from your Flodesk account settings. There is no OAuth application to register and 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 and Flodesk is available in Claude.

Does Flodesk work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?

Yes. Once Flodesk 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 Flodesk once and use it from every client your team prefers.

What can an AI agent actually do with my Flodesk data?

With Flodesk connected, an AI agent can look up subscribers, add new ones, and remove a subscriber when someone asks to be taken off your list. It can list your segments and create a new one, list and create workflows, and add custom fields such as company or plan. It can also set up and manage the webhooks that tell other tools when something happens in Flodesk.

Does connecting Flodesk give the AI everything in my account?

No more than the person who signed in can already reach. Every call to Flodesk runs as that person, so the AI sees the subscribers, segments and workflows their Flodesk access allows and nothing beyond it. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example to read-only, but it can never widen access past what Flodesk itself grants.

Can my team share one Flodesk connection?

Yes. One person connects Flodesk in Elaichi with the API key and shares the connection with a team, and nobody else ever handles the key. Each teammate still signs in to Elaichi as themselves, so every change to a subscriber or segment in Flodesk is logged under the name of the person who made it.

Can I stop an agent from deleting or changing things in Flodesk?

Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi work per action, so you can allow looking up and adding Flodesk subscribers while restricting deletion of subscribers or workflows. 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 Flodesk connection when someone leaves?

When you offboard someone in Elaichi, their access to Flodesk through every AI client ends at once. A Flodesk connection shared with the team keeps working for everyone else. If you want to remove Flodesk entirely, disconnecting it once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Microsoft Copilot and every other client at the same time.

Does the Flodesk MCP connector work with Gemini, Codex, Claude Code or other MCP clients?

Yes. Flodesk 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 Flodesk?

Yes. Both let Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor use Flodesk. 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 Flodesk call.

How is Elaichi different from Composio for Flodesk?

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 Flodesk: one address, restrictions per role or user, and $15 per user per month. Both have role permissions and a log of every call.
