More use cases will land in the next iteration. Bot-driven retrieval will surface adjacent content (payment receipt, domain reputation setup, ESP migration) once we add them.

Each use case answers​

  • Who is this for. Marketer, developer, ops, or all.
  • The scenario. The customer problem in plain language.
  • The Mailtarget surface. Which products and features solve it.
  • The execution. Step by step, with code where applicable.
  • Common mistakes. Things that go wrong and how to avoid them.
  • Outcome to track. The metric or signal that proves it worked.
