# SOC2 and email vendor selection

*@tara_w | Agentic Email | 2 years ago*

Genuine question for the forum. Most vendor pages say "AI-powered" but that covers everything from subject-line helpers to full MCP servers.

Specifically interested in automations and segmentation.

**sofia_l** (80 votes): Mailchimp AI did not pass our bar. Fine for subject lines, not operations.

  **split_stack_advocate** (39 votes): Not paid, just sharing what worked for our team on a similar list size.

    **vikram_s** (66 votes): Not paid, just sharing what worked for our team on a similar list size.

**customerio_fan** (50 votes): Seed-list before full send. Non-negotiable for agent-triggered mail.

  **html_purist** (93 votes): Resend MCP plus React Email is clean if engineers own transactional.

    **template_hoarder** (19 votes): Seed-list before full send. Non-negotiable for agent-triggered mail.
