ChatGPT / GPT

Connect Nitrosend to ChatGPT through the ChatGPT app marketplace

Connect Nitrosend to ChatGPT through the ChatGPT app marketplace. ChatGPT handles the MCP connection and Nitrosend authenticates your account — no API key or local setup required.

The official Nitrosend app is in the ChatGPT app directory. One click, no config files, no API key.

1. Install the official ChatGPT app

Install the Nitrosend app in ChatGPT

Clicking opens the Nitrosend app inside ChatGPT. Hit Connect, then sign in or create a free account — no API key needed.

2. Can't install directly? Search for it

Some ChatGPT plans or regions don't surface the direct link yet. If the button above doesn't open the app, add it from the marketplace instead:

  1. In ChatGPT, click your name, open SettingsApps, then open the app marketplace.
  2. In the Search apps field, enter Nitrosend.
  3. Click Nitrosend - AI Native Email, then click Connect.
  4. ChatGPT opens the Nitrosend sign-in flow — log in or create a free account. No API key needed.

3. Use Nitrosend in a conversation

Ask ChatGPT anything about your email marketing:

What's my Nitrosend account status?
Create a welcome email flow for new subscribers
Info

No API key or local dependencies required. Authentication is handled through your Nitrosend account when you connect Nitrosend — whether you install via the button or the marketplace search.


Option 2: Custom GPT with Actions

Create a custom GPT in ChatGPT that can manage your email marketing.

1. Get your API key

Go to Brand > API Keys in the Nitrosend dashboard and copy your key.

2. Create a custom GPT

Go to ChatGPTExplore GPTsCreate a GPT.

3. Add the Nitrosend action

In the GPT editor, go to ConfigureActionsCreate new action.

Set the Authentication to:

  • Type: API Key
  • Auth Type: Bearer
  • Key: your nskey_live_... key

Import the OpenAPI schema from:

https://api.nitrosend.com/openapi.yaml

This automatically imports all available Nitrosend endpoints as GPT actions.

4. Add instructions

In the GPT's Instructions field, add context about your use case:

You are an email marketing assistant connected to Nitrosend.
You can create campaigns, manage contacts, build automation flows,
and check analytics. Always confirm before sending campaigns.
Ask for a preview or test send before going live.

5. Save and use

Save your GPT. You can now ask it things like:

  • "Create an email campaign about our summer sale"
  • "How many subscribers do I have?"
  • "Show me the performance of my last campaign"

Option 3: OpenAI API with tool calling

For programmatic integration, call the Nitrosend REST API from your own OpenAI-powered app.

Define your tools

from openai import OpenAI

client = OpenAI()

tools = [
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "send_email",
            "description": "Send a transactional email to a single recipient",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "to": {"type": "string", "description": "Recipient email address"},
                    "subject": {"type": "string", "description": "Email subject line"},
                    "body": {"type": "string", "description": "Email body (HTML or plain text)"}
                },
                "required": ["to", "subject", "body"]
            }
        }
    },
    {
        "type": "function",
        "function": {
            "name": "list_campaigns",
            "description": "List all email campaigns",
            "parameters": {
                "type": "object",
                "properties": {
                    "status": {
                        "type": "string",
                        "enum": ["draft", "active", "paused", "completed"],
                        "description": "Filter by campaign status"
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
]

response = client.responses.create(
    model="gpt-5",
    input="Send a transactional email to jane@example.com welcoming her to the newsletter.",
    tools=tools
)

Handle function calls

When your app receives a function call, execute the corresponding Nitrosend API request:

import requests

NITROSEND_API_KEY = "nskey_live_your_key_here"
BASE_URL = "https://api.nitrosend.com/v1/my"
HEADERS = {
    "Authorization": f"Bearer {NITROSEND_API_KEY}",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

def handle_function_call(name, arguments):
    if name == "send_email":
        response = requests.post(
            f"{BASE_URL}/messages",
            headers=HEADERS,
            json={
                "channel": "email",
                "to": arguments["to"],
                "subject": arguments["subject"],
                "body": arguments["body"]
            }
        )
        return response.json()

    elif name == "list_campaigns":
        params = {}
        if "status" in arguments:
            params["status"] = arguments["status"]
        response = requests.get(
            f"{BASE_URL}/campaigns",
            headers=HEADERS,
            params=params
        )
        return response.json()
