Real-World Applications

Personalized Outreach at Scale

Use generate_ai_message to draft personalized emails for each contact based on their unique history — property preferences, past conversations, and timeline stage. The AI reads the full contact record so every email feels hand-written, not templated. Review and send in seconds.

Template Management Without the GUI

Create, preview, and manage email templates through conversation. Build templates with merge fields, test them against real contacts using merge_email_template, and iterate on the copy without navigating FUB's template editor. Keep a library of proven templates for every scenario.

Email Engagement Tracking

Monitor which contacts are engaging with your emails using fetch_em_events. See who opened your market update, which links got clicks, and identify bounced addresses that need updating. Use engagement data to prioritize follow-ups — warm contacts who opened get a call, cold ones get a re-engagement sequence.

Morning Email Blitz

Start your day by asking Ace to draft follow-up emails for your hot leads. The AI generates personalized messages for each contact using their history, you review and approve, and Ace sends them through your Gmail. Ten personalized emails sent in the time it takes to write one manually.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do emails actually send, or just log in FUB?

The send_email_direct tool sends real emails through your connected Gmail account. Recipients receive the email in their inbox, and it appears in the FUB timeline as a sent email. This is a real send, not just a log entry. The email comes from your actual email address so replies go directly to your inbox.

How do merge fields work in templates?

Templates support FUB merge fields like %contact_first_name%, %contact_last_name%, %agent_first_name%, %agent_phone%, and more. When you use merge_email_template with a personId, all merge fields get replaced with that contact's actual data. This lets you preview exactly what the recipient will see before sending.

How does the AI email generation work?

The generate_ai_message tool reads the contact's full FUB record — notes, past emails, texts, appointments, stage, tags, and custom fields. It then drafts a contextually appropriate email based on the topic you specify. You can use preset topics like introduction, follow-up, still-buying, or cold-lead, or provide custom instructions for exactly what you want to say.

Can I track if someone opened my email?

Yes. The fetch_em_events tool returns email marketing events including deliveries, opens, clicks, and bounces. You can filter by personId to see a specific contact's engagement, or pull all events of a certain type to see who's engaging with your campaigns. This data helps you prioritize which contacts to call next.
