GetResponse vs Postscript: at a glance
What is GetResponse?
GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
What is Postscript?
Postscript is handing SMS marketing to an agent that decides each subscriber's next message
Postscript is an SMS and RCS platform for Shopify merchants, and this archive shows it working two fronts at once. On acquisition it has multiplied the places a subscriber can opt in — embedded forms droppable on any page, standalone landing pages built on the popup editor, and Onsite Opt-in at Shoptin checkout. On messaging it is building Shopper, a conversational AI layer that now answers, analyses and increasingly initiates. The feed carries no publication dates, so this is an archive rather than a timeline.

GetResponse now ships a playbook so AI agents can run its email marketing.
◆ Current state
GetResponse has spent the autumn making its account reachable by AI tools. October's MCP connection let Claude or ChatGPT query email data, and the November 12 AI Agent Skills package gives an agent the API's endpoints, payloads, limits and rules so it can act instead of guessing. Around that sit steady ecommerce and compliance work: real-time subscription syncing with stores, open-tracking consent for France and Italy, and workflows started from segments.
◆ Where it's heading
The direction is from AI that reads the account to AI that operates it. MCP came first for questions, Agent Skills now target execution, and the segmentation and ecommerce features give agents more to work with.
◆ Prediction
Expect the next releases to let agents build and send campaigns or workflows end to end, with more permission controls around what an agent may change.

Postscript is handing SMS marketing to an agent that decides each subscriber's next message
◆ Current state
Postscript is an SMS and RCS platform for Shopify merchants, and this archive shows it working two fronts at once. On acquisition it has multiplied the places a subscriber can opt in — embedded forms droppable on any page, standalone landing pages built on the popup editor, and Onsite Opt-in at Shoptin checkout. On messaging it is building Shopper, a conversational AI layer that now answers, analyses and increasingly initiates. The feed carries no publication dates, so this is an archive rather than a timeline.
◆ Where it's heading
The centre of gravity is shifting from campaign tooling to per-subscriber decisioning. Shopper began as a responder, then gained a research surface over its own conversations, and now decides send timing and content for each individual. Alongside that, RCS is the delivery-side bet: webviews, dynamic product photos and tappable suggested replies all work to make the message thread the destination rather than a pointer to the storefront. Experimentation is being pushed into more of the journey rather than confined to campaign sends.
◆ Prediction
Expect the remaining hand-built primitives — static flows and manual segments — to be folded into Shopper's decisioning, and each new RCS capability to keep shipping with an automatic MMS or browser fallback so merchants can adopt it without maintaining a second path.
