# Usage guides

Guides for working inside Mimeo: managing people, importing a CSV, authoring emails, and connecting a sending provider.

How to run Mimeo from the web UI — the day-to-day work of managing subscribers, getting data in, writing email, and getting it delivered.

<!-- cards -->

- [Getting started](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/getting-started): Download and install Mimeo, connect sending and media, and prepare your first audience.
- [People](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/people): Search and filter, the person page, unsubscribes, exports, and GDPR erase.
- [CSV import](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/csv-import): Column mapping, overwrite posture, tags, and migrating unsubscribes.
- [Migrating from another email platform](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/migrating): Preserve suppressions, transition over three newsletters, and cut over without duplicate sends.
- [Emails](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/emails): The library, the markdown editor, Liquid variables, templates, and preview.
- [Media library](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/media): Images, PDFs and zips with alt text, inserted into any email from one library.
- [Sequences](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/sequences): A series of emails on set delays: on/off, draft steps, and repeat-run modes.
- [Flows](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/flows): Event-triggered automation: steps, gates, conditions, versions, and dry runs.
- [Scheduled queue](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/queue): Everything about to be sent, why anything is holding, and send windows.
- [Segments](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/segments): Live rules over your list, trend lines, and watchdogs for states that shouldn't happen.
- [Broadcasts](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/broadcasts): One-off sends against a segment — schedule, cancel, and two ways to deliver.
- [Activity & events](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/events): The instance-wide event feed, and the registry of every event name with its payload shape and what listens for it.
- [Reporting](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/reporting): What every email, sequence, flow and broadcast actually did — and what's excluded.
- [The dashboard](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/dashboard): List growth, what's about to send, and alerts only when there are any.
- [Keyboard and search](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/keyboard): ⌘K, / to search, and running the whole console without a mouse.
- [Guards](https://mimeohq.com/docs/usage/guards): Send-time checkpoints that pause, skip, cancel, or exit — and why.
- [Sending & domains](https://mimeohq.com/docs/providers/setup): Providers, sending domains, and senders have their own section — start with the setup wizard.

## If you'd rather drive it with an agent

Everything above can also be done by your coding agent. The [manager repo](https://mimeohq.com/docs/manager-repo/) holds your whole operation as files your agent edits and ships through the [CLI](https://mimeohq.com/docs/cli/); the [MCP server](https://mimeohq.com/docs/mcp/) on your Mimeo gives it the same reach as tools — questions, one-off changes, authoring included; and underneath both sits the same [API](https://mimeohq.com/docs/api/) your app POSTs [events](https://mimeohq.com/docs/api/events) to. The map of how those fit: [How it fits together](https://mimeohq.com/docs/how-it-fits/).
