Introduction: Why Sendsay and an AI Agent Are the New Automation Standard
Email marketing remains one of the most effective communication channels: the average ROI per ruble spent on campaigns is 4200% (according to DMA). However, there is a downside to this coin—routine. Segmenting your database, writing personalized emails for each scenario, setting up triggers, and A/B testing take hours of a whole team's work. Sendsay is a powerful Russian service for email campaigns, transactional emails, and SMS marketing that solves some of these problems but requires manual setup.
This is where the ASI Biont AI agent comes in. Instead of manually writing scenarios in the Sendsay interface or writing an integration via API, you simply describe the task in natural language in a chat with the AI. ASI Biont itself connects to Sendsay via an API key, analyzes your database, creates segments, generates email texts, and launches campaigns. No control panels, no "add integration" buttons—just a dialogue.
This article is not a review of Sendsay. It is an analysis of how an AI agent turns Sendsay from a tool into a full-fledged assistant that takes over all the logistics of email marketing.
How ASI Biont Connects to Sendsay: A Code-Free Architecture
The main difference between ASI Biont and classic integrations is the complete absence of dashboards and scenario builders. Everything happens in the chat.
Connection process:
1. You give the command: "Connect Sendsay."
2. The AI agent requests the service's API key (you can get it in your Sendsay account under "Developers" → "API keys").
3. You provide the key in the chat—ASI Biont independently writes integration code for the Sendsay REST API.
4. The system tests the connection: sends a test request to your account to ensure access is available.
5. After successful verification, the AI agent has full access to your contacts, lists, templates, and statistics.
Important: ASI Biont connects to any service via API—not just Sendsay. If the service has an open API, the AI itself writes the integration code for it. You don't need to wait for ASI Biont developers to add support for a new service. The only condition is the availability of an API key.
What Tasks the Integration Automates
After connection, the AI agent can perform the entire email marketing cycle without your involvement. Here are the key scenarios:
1. Smart Segmentation Without SQL
In Sendsay, segments are created through a filter builder. ASI Biont does it faster and more accurately. You simply say: "Create a segment of customers who haven't opened emails in the last 90 days and made a purchase over 5000 rubles," and the AI itself forms a request to the Sendsay API, filters the database, and saves the segment.
Example from practice:
A software company wanted to identify users whose subscriptions were expiring within 30 days and who hadn't logged into their personal account for more than 2 weeks. ASI Biont created such a segment in 2 minutes using data from Sendsay and custom fields (subscription end date, last visit). Without AI, this would have taken 40 minutes of manual CSV file analysis.
2. Generating Personalized Emails
ASI Biont doesn't just insert a name into a template—it analyzes the interaction history with each contact (opens, clicks, purchases) and generates unique text for each segment.
Example command: "Write an email for the 'Abandoned Cart' segment. Use a friendly tone, add a 10% discount on items left in the cart, and a link to checkout."
The AI generates the subject line, preheader, main text, selects a CTA (button), and sends it via Sendsay. At the same time, it considers Sendsay's layout and spam filter limitations.
3. Automating A/B Testing
Instead of manually setting up A/B tests in the Sendsay interface, you give a task: "Run an A/B test for the 'New Subscribers' segment: option A—subject line 'Greeting', option B—subject line 'Special Offer'. After 4 hours, select the winner by open rate and send it to the rest of the segment." The AI creates the test, waits for statistics, and automatically applies the winning variant.
4. Event-Based Trigger Chains
Sendsay supports triggers, but setting them up requires manually writing conditions. ASI Biont can create a chain of 5-10 steps in a single dialogue.
Scenario:
- Event: User registered (data comes from your website's API).
- Step 1: After 1 hour—welcome email with instructions.
- Step 2: After 3 days—email with use cases.
- Step 3: After 7 days—offer a discount on the first purchase.
- Condition: If the user opened the email in step 2—skip step 3 and send a survey email.
The AI writes this logic in code, creates triggers in Sendsay, and activates them. All through chat.
Specific Use Cases: From Chaos to System
Scenario 1: E-commerce—Abandoned Cart Recovery
Problem: An online store was losing 70% of carts. The reminder email campaign was set up manually, texts were templated, and the conversion to recovery was 3%.
Solution with ASI Biont:
- The AI connected to Sendsay and the CRM order database.
- Created a segment "Abandoned Cart in the Last 24 Hours."
- Generated 3 email variants (with different discounts and tones) and ran an A/B test.
- The winning variant (15% discount + product reviews) showed an 11% conversion.
- The AI automatically sent it to all new abandoned carts.
Result: Setup time reduced from 3 hours to 15 minutes. Conversion increased from 3% to 11%.
Scenario 2: Educational Platform—Reactivating "Sleeping" Users
Problem: 40% of users hadn't opened emails for more than 60 days.
Solution:
- ASI Biont analyzed data: last course, session duration, number of completed tasks.
- Created 4 segments: "Moderate Activity," "Complete Dropout," "Did Not Complete Course," "Completed Course Long Ago."
- For each segment, the AI wrote a unique email: for "Did Not Complete Course"—a reminder of progress, for "Completed Course Long Ago"—an offer of a new course with a discount.
- The campaign was launched via Sendsay with a 2-day interval between segments.
Result: 18% return of "sleeping" subscribers. Manual setup of such a campaign would have taken 2 days.
Scenario 3: B2B Service—Personalized Digests
Problem: Clients complained about the spam-like nature of campaigns.
Solution:
- The AI requested data on clicks and opens from Sendsay over 6 months.
- Built an interest profile for each contact (e.g., "interested in analytics, not interested in webinars").
- Created a dynamic segment that updates once a week.
- Generates a digest of 3 articles relevant to each contact.
Result: Open rate increased from 15% to 34%, and the number of spam complaints decreased by 80%.
Why It's Profitable: Numbers and Facts
| Parameter | Manual Setup (via Sendsay Interface) | Automation with ASI Biont |
|---|---|---|
| Time to create one campaign | 2-4 hours | 10-20 minutes |
| Time for segmentation | 30-60 minutes | 1-2 minutes |
| Personalization | Name insertion | History analysis + text generation |
| Number of A/B tests per month | 3-5 | Unlimited (AI launches in seconds) |
| Errors in trigger logic | Frequent (human factor) | Minimal (AI checks code) |
Time savings: If you do 10 email campaigns per month, manual setup takes about 30 hours. With ASI Biont—5 hours. This frees up 25 hours for strategy, analytics, and creativity.
How to Get Started: Step-by-Step Plan
- Register at asibiont.com and create an AI agent.
- Enter the chat with the AI agent.
- Say: "Connect my Sendsay account."
- Provide the API key (copy from your Sendsay account).
- Give the first task: "Create a segment of customers who haven't purchased in 30 days and send them an email with a 10% discount offer."
- Enjoy the result—the AI will do everything itself.
Important: No control panels, "add integration" buttons, or scenario builders. Everything is through dialogue. If you need to change the logic—just say it in the chat. The AI will rewrite the integration code on the fly.
Conclusion
Sendsay is a powerful tool, but without AI, it remains just an "engine" for sending emails. Integration with ASI Biont turns it into an intelligent assistant that thinks, analyzes, and acts on its own. You stop being an operator and become a strategist.
