Tools & capabilities
Dynamoi tools 24
dynamoi_open_workspaceOpen the read-only Dynamoi workspace when the user wants to browse their existing artists, campaigns, Smart Links and observed results in ChatGPT. Returns an authorized artist roster or an honest empty account state. Does not create links, change campaigns, start purchases or connect accounts. Use individual read tools for follow-up details.dynamoi_aboutUse this when the user asks what Dynamoi is, who it is for, or what it offers — including before sign-in or before choosing a tool. Returns the canonical About Dynamoi text plus a short structured summary covering free Smart Links, managed Smart Campaigns, YouTube campaigns, distribution, company facts, support, and getting started. This is read-only product information, not account data.dynamoi_get_account_overviewUse this when the user explicitly asks about the signed-in Dynamoi account itself, such as who is logged in, how many organizations or artists it can access, or whether account-level platform connections exist. Pass intent to match that explicit account question; it defaults to account_overview. Do not use this to confirm a specific Meta or YouTube onboarding attempt because this account-level state can span multiple artists; use dynamoi_get_platform_status for the target artist instead. Do not use this to enumerate artists one by one; use dynamoi_list_artists for that. Never use this to 'check context' before answering generic Instagram, lyrics, songwriting, or marketing-advice questions, even if Dynamoi is attached.dynamoi_list_artistsUse this when the user wants to see which artists or YouTube channels they manage, along with billing status, active campaign count, and their role. Pass artistId when you need the full profile/readiness details for one artist instead of a roster page. Do not use this for campaign details; use dynamoi_list_campaigns or dynamoi_get_campaign. Never use this for generic social-media or marketing advice, including Instagram follower-growth questions, unless the user explicitly asked about their Dynamoi roster. If the result is empty, the user is brand-new — do not stop with 'no records found'; route through dynamoi_get_account_overview.recommendedNextActions.dynamoi_searchUse this when the user mentions an artist, release, campaign, or smart link but you do not yet know the exact record to inspect. Do not use this for analytics summaries or billing questions once you already know the target record. If the result is empty for a brand-new user (no artists yet), do not respond 'no records found' as a terminal answer — instead suggest creating their first artist hub via dynamoi_create_smart_links_from_spotify_artist.searchOpenAI ChatGPT Deep Research / Connectors search contract. Returns matching Dynamoi artists, campaigns, and Smart Links so they can be cited in a deep-research session. For regular ChatGPT chat use dynamoi_search instead.fetchOpenAI ChatGPT Deep Research / Connectors fetch contract. Given an id returned by `search` (formatted as 'artist:<uuid>', 'campaign:<uuid>', or 'smartlink:<uuid>'), returns the full record for citation.dynamoi_list_campaignsUse this when the user wants to browse campaigns for one artist, optionally filtered by type or status. Do not use this for a single campaign deep dive; use dynamoi_get_campaign for that. Never use this to personalize generic marketing advice. If the user has no artists yet, do not call this — route via dynamoi_get_account_overview first.dynamoi_get_campaignUse this when the user wants full details for one campaign, including budget, targeting, platform status, and next actions. YouTube campaigns return youtubeStrategy and strategyGuide: read the guide's goal and judgeBy before interpreting results. Set includeAnalytics=true for paid delivery, includeChannelResults=true for observed YouTube channel results with paid and organic views (never attributed to the campaign), includeDeploymentStatus=true for delivery/deployment blockers, and includeCountries=true only when the full country list is needed. Do not use this for a campaign list; use dynamoi_list_campaigns instead. After a successful launch or campaign mutation, prefer format=summary when you need a follow-up read to relay the final answer.dynamoi_get_artist_analyticsUse this when the user wants artist-level performance across all campaigns, including 30-day rollups or daily breakdowns. Pass granularity=DAILY when the user asks for a daily breakdown. Pass format=summary when the user wants a written rollup, a strongest-campaign verdict, or a direct answer you can relay immediately. If this tool already returned the requested strongest-campaign comparison, stop and answer instead of calling more analytics tools. For one campaign's metrics, use dynamoi_get_campaign with includeAnalytics=true.dynamoi_get_growth_auditUse this when the user asks for an artist's Spotify monthly listeners, listener growth over time, growth audit or score, playlist reach, or growth recommendations. The response carries its status, coverage dates, and limitations; preserve unavailable or stale status and do not treat a missing metric as zero. This is Spotify and market insight data, not paid campaign performance.dynamoi_get_playlist_analyticsUse this when the user asks about an artist's tracked playlist placements, reach, or playlist movement. The response includes freshness and snapshot dates with the playlist and movement rows. These observed placements are not attributed to a paid campaign.- +12 more on the listing page
GrowSurf tools 63
growsurf_integration_guidePlan a web integration for a referral or affiliate program. Returns Markdown steps for installing the Universal Code, identifying participants, tracking referrals or sales, and verifying webhooks. Does not inspect or change a program. Use `growsurf_client_snippets` for browser JavaScript examples, `growsurf_api_library_snippets` for backend code, or `growsurf_mobile_sdk_guide` for native or React Native apps.growsurf_agent_program_creation_evalGenerate Markdown prompts and acceptance checks for evaluating an agent's program-creation workflow: starter content, rewards, configuration, and frontend installation. Does not create a program or run the checks. Use `growsurf_program_design_advisor` to choose a program design, or `growsurf_integration_guide` to plan its web integration.growsurf_program_design_advisorGenerate program designs, benchmarks, typical rewards, and metric definitions, including participant-to-referral and lead-to-referral ratios. Read-only. Returns a short draft, complete `benchmarkFacts`, a proposed `configurationPlan`, and unresolved `decisions`. Incentive amounts and qualifying actions remain unresolved unless supplied by the customer. `detail: summary` returns a configuration draft and reward structure; `detail: full` adds detailed benchmark tables. Hosted figures describe GrowSurf's high-performing programs; without a bundle, guidance is documentation-based. `programType: AFFILIATE` selects affiliate advice. `industry: other` covers local services, pets, hospitality, and agencies. All inputs are optional.growsurf_troubleshoot_referral_trackingDiagnose referral tracking and program problems. Accepts a symptom or description without requiring a program or participant ID. Covers referrals not credited, participant emails not sending, rewards not issued, participants not added, Universal Code not detected, integrations or CRMs not syncing, Zapier errors, fraud flags, and analytics discrepancies. Returns ordered diagnostic checks, likely causes, fixes, and documentation links. It does not read program or participant records. Unknown `symptom` keys return the available symptoms. A `description` matches only when it contains a symptom label or alias verbatim; otherwise the symptom list is returned.growsurf_mobile_sdk_guideGet Markdown implementation guidance for native iOS/Android SDK 0.9.0 or React Native SDK 0.1.0, including attribution, `shareUrl` sharing, `trackShare`, and the native GrowSurf Window. Choose `platform` and `participantState` to tailor the guide; `includeInstallSnippets` controls installation examples. Does not install an SDK or create a participant token. Use `growsurf_client_snippets` for browser JavaScript or `growsurf_api_library_snippets` for backend token-creation code.growsurf_api_library_snippetsGenerate Markdown code examples for the official backend REST API libraries in TypeScript, Python, PHP, Ruby, and Java. Select `language` and `workflow`; both default to `all`. Covers setup, program lookup, participant creation, referral credit, sales, and mobile participant tokens. Returns code without executing API calls. Use `growsurf_client_snippets` for browser JavaScript or `growsurf_mobile_sdk_guide` for native or React Native app setup.growsurf_get_campaignFetch your GrowSurf campaign (program) details via REST. Embedded reward settings do not establish that an individual reward was earned, approved, or delivered. Earned reward records belong to the individual participant. Targets `campaignId` if supplied, otherwise `GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID`.growsurf_list_campaignsList the GrowSurf programs available to the bound team, including their IDs for program selection. Deleted programs are not returned. Does not require `GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID`.growsurf_create_campaignCreate a new GrowSurf program (campaign) with type-appropriate starter content and optional inline rewards. Starter content includes Design, Emails, Options, Installation, and GrowSurf Window defaults. Only `type` is required. The program starts in `DRAFT` status and is owned by the credential's bound team. `currencyISO` defaults to `USD` and is immutable after creation. `goal` sets the sharing settings at creation and cannot be set later. Incentives require the customer's chosen amount or commission rate. Without `rewards`, GrowSurf's starter rewards are switched off and award nothing. Editor-tab configuration is not accepted here. Does not require `GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID`. The response includes the new program `id`.growsurf_update_campaignUpdate your GrowSurf program's (campaign's) identity and lifecycle: name, companyName, companyLogoImageUrl, and status (set IN_PROGRESS to publish/resume the program, COMPLETE to end it). Only the fields you send are changed. `type`, `urlId`, and `currencyISO` are immutable (currency is chosen once at program creation), so this tool does not accept them. Editor-tab config (design, emails, options, installation) is edited with the dedicated config sub-resource tools, not here. Targets `campaignId` if you pass it, otherwise GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID.growsurf_clone_campaignClone your GrowSurf program (campaign) into a new DRAFT program. Integrations and credentials are not copied; active rewards are cloned. Targets `campaignId` if you pass it, otherwise GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID.growsurf_list_campaign_rewardsList your GrowSurf program's configured Campaign Rewards, including switched-off rewards and rewards whose group is not selected. Deleted rewards are excluded. A reward can be earned only when it also appears in the campaign response's embedded `rewards` array. These settings do not establish that a participant earned or received a reward; earned reward records belong to the individual participant. Targets `campaignId` if supplied, otherwise `GROWSURF_CAMPAIGN_ID`.- +51 more on the listing page
