AI assistants

Claude, ChatGPT and Codex can work on a Reggio Digital newsletter for you: draft a campaign from a few lines or from your newest blog posts, review a draft, send you a test, explain how past campaigns did, and schedule a campaign once you have said yes to it. They can also tell you how your websites are doing (whether a site is up, how fast it is, its security and backups, its plugins and storage) and how you are doing on Google. They sign in as you, with your own permissions, and every change they make shows in your activity log.

Connecting

The assistant connects to one address:

https://reggiodigital.com/mcp

Claude Code: install the Reggio Digital plugin, which adds the connection with the drafting skills and checks that go with it:

/plugin marketplace add Reggio-Digital/reggio-agent
/plugin install reggio@reggio-agent

Claude Desktop and claude.ai: add a custom connector with the address above.

ChatGPT: add a connector with the address above.

Codex:

codex mcp add reggio --url https://reggiodigital.com/mcp

The first time the assistant uses it, a reggiodigital.com sign-in opens. Sign in, read what the assistant is asking to do, and choose Authorize.

What you allow

The sign-in page lists what the assistant may do. It asks for all four unless it was set up to ask for less:

• Read your newsletter lists, campaigns, templates and reports. Nothing changes.
• Create and edit draft campaigns, and send yourself tests. A test goes only to your own address.
• Schedule campaigns to your subscribers, and send tests to other addresses.
• See your websites' status, speed, security, backups and Google search results. Nothing changes: the assistant reads what your website pages and Search pages in the dashboard show, without file access details, passwords or your visitors' addresses.

The assistant also has the permissions you have in each company. If you cannot edit the newsletter in the dashboard, neither can it.

How scheduling works

An assistant never sends a campaign the moment you ask, and there is no "send now". Scheduling takes two steps:

1. It checks the campaign and shows you a summary: the company, the list and who it goes to, how many people that is, the subject, the sender and the time in your list's timezone.
2. Only after you say yes to that summary does it schedule the campaign.

If anything in the campaign changes after you saw the summary, or ten minutes pass, the summary has to be made again. A campaign must have had a test sent first, and it is scheduled at least ten minutes ahead, so you can cancel it from the assistant or the dashboard until it starts going out.

What it cannot do

Subscribers' details stay in the dashboard: an assistant never sees who is on your list, and cannot import, export, add or remove subscribers. Signup forms, sender addresses, list settings and buying the newsletter are done in the dashboard too. An assistant changes nothing on a website (its cache, password, staging copy, backups or domains), cannot run a speed test, and cannot connect Google Search Console: those are on your websites' pages.

Disconnecting

Connected AI assistants lists every assistant you have connected, what each may do and when it connected. Disconnect stops it straight away; it has to be connected and authorized again to work on your account.

More than one company

If you belong to several companies, the assistant asks which one you mean, and every answer it gets names the company it acted on.
