Quickstart

Get up and running with Nitrosend in under 5 minutes. Choose your path: The fastest way to get started. Connect your AI tool and let it handle the setup.

1. Create your account

Sign up at app.nitrosend.com.

2. Connect your AI tool

Add Nitrosend as an MCP server. Pick your tool:
claude mcp add --transport http nitrosend https://api.nitrosend.com/mcp
For Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, Gemini, or other tools — see the full integration guides.

3. Sign in when prompted

Your AI tool will open a Nitrosend sign-in window. Log in with your account — authentication is handled automatically.

4. Start prompting

Try this to get a full setup in one go:
Connect into Nitrosend and based on my brand, give me a suggested email
flow to set up and guide me through set up. Make the email design modern
and on brand against my website.
Your AI will scrape your brand, suggest a flow, build it, and walk you through sending a test.
Other great first prompts:
  • “Check my account status and tell me what I need to set up”
  • “Create a 5-email welcome series for new subscribers”
  • “Send a test email to me@example.com

Quickstart with the dashboard

Prefer to set things up manually? Here’s the traditional path.

1. Create your account

Sign up at app.nitrosend.com and complete the onboarding wizard. This sets up your brand colors, logo, and sending domain.

2. Verify your domain

Add the DNS records shown in Settings > Domains to authenticate your sending domain. This ensures your emails land in the inbox, not spam.

3. Import contacts

Go to Contacts > Import and upload a CSV, or add contacts manually. Each contact needs at least an email address.

4. Create a template

Head to Templates and use the drag-and-drop editor to design your email. Your brand colors and logo are applied automatically.

5. Send a campaign

Go to Campaigns > New, select your template and audience, and hit send.
