About

SendFox ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 23 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

SendFox is an email-newsletter platform for content creators: contacts organised into lists and tags, and campaigns sent to them.

This app covers the whole send path. It lists, reads, creates, updates and removes contacts, including their per-list memberships, custom fields and tags, and can unsubscribe a contact by email in one call. It creates draft campaigns, sends them, and reads their performance counters. It manages contact lists and subscription forms, and lists automations.

It also sizes an audience before you act on it: the contact list action accepts SendFox’s full filter[...] engagement set and a count_only mode, so a workflow can answer “how many people opened nothing this year” without paging the whole account. The me-get action returns the account’s own contact usage against its plan limit.

Health checks read SendFox’s live rate-limit headers for quota headroom, and declare the missing status page as a positive fact rather than leaving a gap.

Build with SendFox

Three routes to the same 23 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from SendFox's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

List Automations

automation-list

List the account's automations, including their triggers and steps.

Create Campaign

campaign-create

Create a campaign draft, optionally schedule it and choose its audience.

Get Campaign

campaign-get

List Campaigns

campaign-list

List the account's campaigns.

Send Campaign

campaign-send

Send a draft campaign immediately. Requires the campaign to have a list assigned.

Get Campaign Stats

Read a contact's engagement summary and the emails sent to them.

Create Contact

contact-create

Create a contact, optionally adding it to lists and setting custom fields.

Delete Contact

Soft-delete a contact and cancel any scheduled emails to it.

Get Contact

contact-get

Fetch one contact by id.

List Contacts

contact-list

List contacts with SendFox's engagement filters, or count them with `count_only`.

Add Tag to Contact

contact-tag-add

Attach a contact tag to a contact. Idempotent.

Create Contact Tag

contact-tag-create

Create a contact tag with an optional brand color.

List Contact Tags

Remove Tag from Contact

contact-tag-remove

Detach a contact tag from a contact.

Unsubscribe Contact

contact-unsubscribe

Unsubscribe a contact by email address.

Update Contact

contact-update

Update a contact's names, list memberships and custom fields.

Create Form

form-create

Create a subscription form attached to one or more lists.

List Forms

form-list

List the account's subscription forms.

Add Contact to List

list-contacts-add

Add an existing contact to a list. Idempotent — no duplicate membership.

Create List

list-create

Create a contact list.

List Lists

list-list

List the account's contact lists, with their average open and click rates.

Get Account

me-get

Read the authenticated account, including contact usage against its plan limit.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying SendFox's real ids.

+18 more actions available

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for SendFox, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to SendFox. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "campaign-create",
  payload: {
    title: "<value>",
    subject: "<value>",
    html: "<value>",

Give an AI agent SendFox — without giving it SendFox's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.sendfox#campaign-create",
    "input": {
      "title": "<title>",
      "subject": "<subject>",
      "html": "<html>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's SendFox connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

SendFox's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. SendFox itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Request MCP access

Health checks

SendFox declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.

service

Vendor status page

No machine-readable status surface: SendFox publishes no status page.

quota

Rate-limit headroom

Remaining requests in the current minute, read from the X-RateLimit-Limit and X-RateLimit-Remaining headers on an authenticated GET /me.
