I have developed an assistant using Vapi.ai to engage with our target audience through outbound voice calls. As a next step, I would like to send an email to the same persons. Could you please advise on the best approach or tools to efficiently manage and automate this email communication?

To automate sending emails via Gmail after your Vapi assistant's outbound calls, use the MCP integration with a provider like Zapier. 1. Obtain your Zapier MCP server URL ([instructions here](https://actions.zapier.com/settings/mcp/)). 2. In Vapi, create an MCP tool and configure it with your server URL. 3. Add this tool to your assistant to enable email actions. Example MCP tool configuration:

json
{
  "type": "mcp",
  "name": "mcpTools",
  "server": { "url": "https://actions.zapier.com/mcp/actions/" }
}

This setup lets your assistant trigger Gmail actions (like sending emails) as part of your workflow. For more details, see the [Vapi MCP integration guide](https://docs.vapi.ai/tools/mcp).

To automate email follow-ups after Vapi.ai calls, collect emails during the call, then use tools like Make.com or n8n to trigger workflows that send emails via Gmail or integrate with CRMs like HubSpot or Google Sheets for tracking.
