The AI cleaned my mailing list and updated Mailchimp

Mailing thousands of people brought hundreds of auto replies that nobody read. The AI scanned them read only, flagged who had left or changed roles, and updated Mailchimp, leaving a cleaner list and better deliverability.

How it works

  1. The AI scans the auto replies read only
  2. Flags who left or changed roles
  3. Updates Mailchimp so dead addresses stop getting mail

Why it’s worth knowing

The auto replies everyone ignores turned out to hold the list cleanup. The AI read them, spotted who had moved on, and fixed the list in Mailchimp.
