Sendy
· #220 most-usedEmail newsletters at a fraction of the cost via Amazon SES
Sendy is a self-hosted PHP newsletter application that sends email campaigns through Amazon SES — delivering the same reach as Mailchimp at up to 100x lower cost per send. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can subscribe contacts, trigger campaigns, pull delivery stats, and manage multiple lists entirely in plain English. From trial-to-customer nurture sequences to GDPR opt-out compliance, every routine list-management task runs automatically the moment the triggering event occurs.
Eliminates manual work. Agents eliminate the manual cycle of logging into Sendy to export contacts, upload lists, click-send campaigns, and check bounce stats — every one of those steps runs automatically.
What your Sendy agent runs on autopilot
A week of scheduled jobs your Actionist agent will execute on your behalf.
Sendy × every other app you use
End-to-end automations that span multiple apps — each one a real business outcome.
Churned customer win-back in one workflow
When a paying customer unsubscribes from the 'Customers' list, your agent reads their subscription status in Sendy, adds them to a targeted win-back campaign, posts a heads-up to the CS team in Slack, and books a follow-up call on Google Calendar — all before the customer's inbox receives anything.
Time saved for your team — every week, on autopilot
Savings
What your team gets back — two angles: what you stop doing manually, and what that's worth.

How to plug Sendy into Actionist
Pick the connection method that suits your environment.
The fastest path to your Sendy instance. Install the Sendy MCP server and the agent connects to your self-hosted Sendy URL via a permissioned API key handshake — no tokens to juggle manually.
Find Sendy in the Apps library and click Connect. MCP is selected by default.
Enter your Sendy installation URL (e.g. https://send.yourdomain.com) and your API key from Sendy's Settings page. The agent stores both securely.
Actionist runs a read-only subscriber-count call to verify the handshake. You're ready.
