Reteno Agent in Slack: Use Cases

The Reteno agent handles a wide range of tasks through natural language. Below are the most common ways teams are using it today — each one a real scenario where switching to the agent saves time and keeps work visible to the whole team.

Troubleshooting

Something looks off. Open rates dropped, a campaign didn't send, or a contact isn't showing up where you expect. Instead of digging through the platform manually, ask the agent directly.

Example prompts:

  • @Reteno Did any workflow show a significant drop in deliverability in the last 7 days?
  • @Reteno Show me the Bounce and Spam rates for workflow ID 1234 this month.
  • @Reteno Why might contact ID 58821 not be receiving messages?
  • @Reteno Are there any unusual Unsubscribe spikes across my campaigns this week?
  • @Reteno Are sends happening right now? Show me the last 24 hours of send activity.
  • @Reteno We're seeing webhook errors on our side. Are sends actually going out from Reteno, or is something broken on the platform?

The agent pulls the relevant data, surfaces the anomaly, and gives your team a shared starting point for the investigation — all in one thread.

Email Localization

You need a language variant for an existing email template. Instead of opening the editor, finding the template, and translating manually, ask the agent to do it in the thread.

Example prompts:

  • @Reteno Open template ID 3935987 and add a German language variant. Translate all visible text into German.
  • @Reteno Translate the subject line and preheader of template ID 3935987 into French.

The agent reads the template, creates the language variant, and saves it back to Reteno. The whole exchange stays in the thread for anyone on the team to review.

Campaign Performance Reviews

Before a meeting, you need a quick overview of how campaigns performed. Instead of pulling reports and copying numbers into a doc, ask the agent in the channel.

Example prompts:

  • @Reteno Show me Send, Deliver, Open, and Click metrics for all workflows in March.
  • @Reteno Which workflows had the highest click rate last month?
  • @Reteno How many SubscriptionStarted events were recorded last week, broken down by day?
  • @Reteno What is the share of email conversions from total SubscriptionStarted events in March?
  • @Reteno What are the top 5 SMTP response codes from failed deliveries in April for broadcasts? Include only the numeric part of the response, with count and percentage of total errors.

Everyone on the call sees the same data in the same thread. No version conflicts, no "which spreadsheet is the latest one."

Understanding and Reviewing Workflows

The agent can read and explain the structure of your workflows — not just their analytics, but the actual logic: what steps are inside, how they are connected, and what messages they contain.

Start broad, then drill down:

  • @Reteno Which workflow in my account is the most important?
  • @Reteno What is workflow ID 434661 about? Describe its structure and steps.
  • @Reteno What messages are inside workflow ID 434661?
  • @Reteno Review all emails in workflow ID 434661 and suggest improvements.

This is useful when onboarding a new team member, preparing for a review, or auditing a workflow you haven't touched in a while. The agent describes what's there in plain language — no need to open the platform.

Note

Workflow data is updated once per day. Changes made today will be visible to the agent starting tomorrow.

Expert Advice

The agent can answer questions about email marketing, deliverability, and best practices without needing access to your Reteno account. Think of it as having a knowledgeable colleague available directly in Slack.

Domain warm-up strategy:

  • @Reteno I have a brand new domain. I can send about 200 cancellation confirmations, 100 account creation emails, and 200 welcome emails per week. I also have 7K new contacts per week I want to send Abandoned Cart to. About 60% are Gmail. How should I approach the warm-up?

The agent will give you a step-by-step recommendation — what to send first, when to add marketing flows, what signals to watch, and how to pace the ramp-up safely.

Other questions you can ask:

  • @Reteno What are the current Gmail bulk sender requirements?
  • @Reteno What is DMARC and do I need it?
  • @Reteno What's the difference between a dedicated and shared IP for email sending?

Pulling Assets from Figma

The agent can connect to your Figma account via API and pull frames directly as PNG files — no manual export needed. Once downloaded, images can be optimized with TinyPNG before using them in email.

Connecting Figma

To connect, type in the channel:

  • @Reteno Connect Figma API

The agent will return an authorization link. Follow the link and enter your Figma personal access token.

To generate a Figma personal access token:

  1. Open Figma and go to your profile icon → Settings
  2. Scroll to SecurityPersonal access tokens
  3. Click Generate new token
  4. Set a name and expiration date
  5. Enable the following scopes: current_user:read, file_content:read, file_metadata:read, file_versions:read
  6. Copy the token and paste it into the agent's authorization prompt

Downloading Frames

Once connected, provide the Figma file URL and ask the agent to download frames:

  • @Reteno Download all frames named "section" from this Figma file: [paste URL]

Optimizing Images

After downloading, run the PNG optimizer to reduce file size before using images in email:

  • @Reteno Use the PNG optimizer skill to make the images smaller
📘

Note

Figma integration requires a paid Figma plan (Professional or higher). Free accounts have very limited API access. TinyPNG optimization is available for all users with no additional setup.

Full image upload to Reteno from Figma is coming soon — once available, the agent will be able to pull assets from Figma and use them directly in emails.
