Questions

What can the AI do in Emailchef?

The AI can read your account, lists, contacts, segments, campaigns, list statistics, campaign recipients, campaign links and verified senders. It can create and update lists, contacts and campaigns, unsubscribe contacts and delete campaigns. It can also send test emails, single emails and campaigns, and schedule or unschedule campaigns, if you switch those tools on.

Does the AI see my Emailchef API key and secret?

No. Your Emailchef credentials are encrypted at rest and never shown to the AI. After you save them, they are not shown again, not even to you. The AI only sees the results of the tools it calls.

Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?

Yes. You choose which tools are switched on, so you can start read-only. Sending or scheduling a campaign emails real recipients and cannot be undone, and deleting a campaign is permanent. These actions can require your approval before they run. Every tool call is logged.

Does it work with ChatGPT?

Yes. In ChatGPT go to Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced and turn on Developer mode, then add your HeyMyApps link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.

What does it cost?

HeyMyApps has a free plan with no credit card required. Paid plans bill per completed task. You also need your own Emailchef account.

Where do I find my Emailchef API key and secret?

You create an API key pair in your Emailchef account, listed under API Keys in the Emailchef API reference. The secret is shown when you create the key, so copy it then. You paste the key and the secret into HeyMyApps.
