Quickstart
This guide takes you from zero to a live send in about five minutes.
1. Create your account
Sign up at aigeon.ai and create an organization when prompted. You'll be dropped into the onboarding flow.
2. Authenticate a sending domain
Open Settings → Domains, add your domain, and copy the DKIM / SPF / DMARC records into your DNS provider. Come back and click Verify once the records propagate (usually within a few minutes).
You can send before a domain is fully authenticated, but deliverability drops significantly. We recommend waiting for all three checks to turn green.
3. Import contacts
Open Contacts → Lists → Create list, then either:
- Upload a CSV (email column required; all other columns become contact properties), or
- Call the API to push contacts in real time (see Node.js examples).
4. Design an email template
Open Templates → Create template. The editor is component-based — drag headers, articles, images, polls, and buttons onto the canvas. Save the template; we'll reference it from your campaign in a moment.
5. Send a campaign
Open Campaigns → Create campaign:
- Pick the list or segment as the recipients.
- Pick the template you just designed.
- Set sender name, subject, preheader.
- Click Send now (or schedule for later).
Within a few seconds Aigeon hands the message to your authenticated domain and streams delivery events into Analytics.
6. (Optional) Wire up a webhook
If you have a downstream system that cares about opens, clicks, bounces, or unsubscribes, open Settings → Webhooks → Create, paste your endpoint URL, and pick which events to subscribe to. Payloads arrive signed with HMAC-SHA256 — see Verifying signatures.
What's next
- Design a recurring flow so new contacts get onboarded automatically.
- Mint an API key to drive Aigeon from your own product.
- Connect Claude Desktop or Cursor via the MCP server so you can ask an AI agent to run campaigns for you.
