Post to Listmonk from Grok Bot
Grok Bot can send email campaigns through Listmonk using the Postiz plugin. Add the plugin to a Bot, store your Postiz API key as a secret, and describe the newsletter. The Bot writes the subject and preview text, picks the mailing list and template, schedules the send in Postiz, and can run a weekly newsletter routine from its cloud computer.
Please make sure there is always a human in the loop.

Grok Bot is the always-on AI teammate product from xAI and Cursor. You create named Bots, give each one a job, and they work 24/7 on their own persistent cloud computer — with a browser, a filesystem, and a terminal — pinging you only when they need approval.
Grok Bot is not the Grok chatbot. Grok is the assistant you chat with on X and grok.com. Grok Bot is a separate app for delegating real, multi-step work — like running your Listmonk presence with Postiz.
Own Cloud Computer
Every Bot gets a persistent cloud machine with a terminal. Postiz runs there, so your Listmonk posts go out even when your laptop is closed.
Routines
Turn any task into a routine that runs on a schedule. Your Bot drafts, schedules, and reports on Listmonk content without being asked twice.
Approvals Built In
Bots ask before changing external systems. Review the Listmonk posts your Bot prepared in Postiz, approve, and it publishes.
How Postiz Works with Grok Bot
Postiz is listed on the Grok Bot plugin marketplace. Add it to a Bot and the Postiz skill, CLI, and command reference are installed on its cloud computer — the Bot can then manage your Listmonk workflow on its own.
- ✓Type /add-plugin postiz in a Bot chat, or add it from the Plugins sidebar
- ✓Store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret when prompted
- ✓The Bot reads the bundled SKILL.md and learns every Postiz command
- ✓Works in every Bot on your shared workspace, on desktop and iPhone
- ✓Approvals keep a human in the loop before anything is published

Message Your Bot
Desktop, iPhone, or a group chat

Grok Bot: Routine saved: friday-newsletter.Listmonk rules Grok Bot follows
Grok Bot reads the Listmonk rules from postiz integrations:settings before scheduling. These are the ones that most often change what gets published.
- ✓subject, preview, and list are all required. Grok Bot writes the subject and preview text if you do not, and resolves the list ID with postiz integrations:settings.
- ✓template is optional and takes a Listmonk template ID. Without it Listmonk uses your default template.
- ✓Listmonk sends to real subscribers, so always review the draft before approving. Sending cannot be undone.
- ✓Postiz connects to your own Listmonk instance. Connect it in Postiz before asking the Bot.
Grok Bot and Listmonk: frequently asked questions
How do I send a Listmonk campaign from Grok Bot?
Add the Postiz plugin with /add-plugin postiz and store your POSTIZ_API_KEY as a Bot secret. Connect Listmonk in Postiz, then describe the newsletter. The Bot sets subject, preview text, list, and template, and schedules the send through Postiz. You approve before anything is sent.
How does Grok Bot choose the Listmonk list and template?
It runs postiz integrations:settings for your Listmonk channel, which returns your lists and templates with their IDs. Name the list and template in plain language and the Bot maps them to IDs. If a name is ambiguous, it asks before scheduling.
Can Grok Bot write the subject line and preview text?
Yes. Both are required by Listmonk, so if you do not provide them the Bot drafts a subject and a short preview from the newsletter body and shows them to you for approval. You can ask for alternatives before it schedules the campaign.
Is it safe to let Grok Bot send email campaigns?
Grok Bot asks for approval before it changes external systems, and Postiz shows the campaign in your calendar before send time. Review the draft, list, and schedule before approving, because a sent campaign cannot be recalled. Keep a human in the loop for every send.
Can Grok Bot run a weekly newsletter routine?
Yes. Save a routine that drafts the newsletter from a file on the Bot's cloud computer every Friday, resolves the list and template, and sends the draft to you for approval. After you approve, the Bot schedules the send through Postiz.
