How to post to Listmonk from ChatGPT

Add PostDelegate to ChatGPT. In ChatGPT open Settings, then Connectors, then Create. If you cannot create one, look for a developer mode switch under advanced settings, or ask your workspace admin. Name it PostDelegate, paste the server URL below and choose OAuth. Choose Create, then Connect, sign in to PostDelegate and click Authorize.
Server URL
```
https://app.postdelegate.com/mcp-oauth-dynamic
```
Custom connectors depend on your ChatGPT plan and workspace settings, which OpenAI controls.
Connect Listmonk in PostDelegate. You need a running Listmonk reachable from the internet over http:// or https://, and a Listmonk username and password that can read settings and lists and create campaigns.
Ask ChatGPT for a draft. Describe the post in plain words. ChatGPT checks your Listmonk channel's rules, creates the post and sends back a preview link.

Teach ChatGPT the posting rules

Paste the PostDelegate instructions into a custom GPT or a Project, with the connector enabled there, so ChatGPT follows the posting rules in every chat. Agent files has the steps.

What to ask ChatGPT

Mention any Listmonk setting in plain words and ChatGPT fills it in. Start with something harmless, like asking which channels you have.

Draft a Listmonk campaign for the newsletter list, subject “November update”, with a preview line.
Schedule the campaign for Tuesday at 7:00 with the Default template.

What ChatGPT can do on your Listmonk channel

Check the rules first. Before writing, it reads your Listmonk channel's length limit and required settings.
Draft, schedule or post. It creates a draft, a scheduled post or an immediate post, and runs the same checks as the app.
Use your media. It attaches files from your media library or adds one from a public link.
Review and fix. It lists what is scheduled, changes the Listmonk settings of a post that has not gone out, and deletes posts you no longer want.

Listmonk is newsletter software you host yourself. Connecting it lets PostDelegate create a campaign in your Listmonk and start it on a schedule, so a newsletter can sit on the same calendar as the social posts that announce it.

Before you start

Publishing starts the campaign. When the post goes out, PostDelegate creates a regular campaign on your chosen list and sets it to running, which sends it.
Use a PostDelegate draft to hold a campaign back, and send a test through Listmonk itself first.

The Listmonk channel guide has every field, and MCP tools lists exactly what an assistant can and cannot do.

Questions

Will ChatGPT publish to Listmonk without asking me?

Not unless you ask it to. Ask for a draft and the post waits on your calendar until you schedule it, and your workspace's approvals apply as usual. Tools that change data are marked as such, so ChatGPT can ask you before it schedules or deletes anything.

Do I need an API key to connect ChatGPT?

No. ChatGPT signs in with your PostDelegate account through your browser. An API key is only for clients that cannot sign in, as described in MCP clients.

Does it cost extra to use ChatGPT with PostDelegate?

No. The MCP server is on every plan, and ChatGPT runs on your own ChatGPT account, so PostDelegate never charges for AI. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial with no card.

Can ChatGPT attach images or video to a Listmonk post?

It can use files already in your media library, or add one from a public link. It cannot fetch files from your computer, so upload those in the app first, or through the upload widget where ChatGPT shows it. See MCP tools.

Does PostDelegate send the email itself?

No. PostDelegate creates a regular campaign in your own Listmonk and sets it to running, and your Listmonk sends it. Use a draft in PostDelegate to hold a campaign back, and send a test through Listmonk first.

Can I attach files to a Listmonk campaign?

No. Attachments are not sent. Put pictures inside the HTML content where they should appear, using images from the media library.
