EmailOctopus

Add, find, and unsubscribe EmailOctopus contacts from your phone calls.

Connect EmailOctopus to AgentCalls and your agent can manage your mailing lists while it talks to customers. A caller can ask to join your newsletter and be added to the right list on the spot. Your agent can check your lists and recent campaigns when someone asks what you have sent. When a caller asks to be removed, the agent unsubscribes them before the call ends. Connect with the credentials from your EmailOctopus settings and your agent works inside the tools you already use.

What your agent can do with EmailOctopus

  • Add a new contact to a specific list during a call, with the details the caller gives
  • Look up your mailing lists and recent campaigns when a caller asks what you have sent
  • Unsubscribe a contact by email address when they ask to stop receiving emails
  • Create a new mailing list for a new offer, event, or customer group

EmailOctopus exposes 20 actions. You choose which ones the agent may use and whether each runs during or after the call.

Questions, answered.

Does the agent work with EmailOctopus during the call or after it?

It works during the call. When a caller asks to join a list or unsubscribe, your agent makes the change in EmailOctopus while the conversation is still going.

What do I need to connect EmailOctopus?

You need an EmailOctopus account. Copy the credentials from your EmailOctopus settings, then sign in to the AgentCalls dashboard and connect the tool. Integrations are included from the Growth plan.

Can the agent delete contacts or lists?

Deleting is not offered on calls, so a list or contact is never removed by accident during a conversation. Your agent can add, look up, and unsubscribe contacts.
