Ghost emails let your connectors forward a pre-written introduction request on your behalf — without having to write anything themselves. The MCP integration lets you draft, review, and send ghost emails entirely from your AI chat interface.

How ghost email works

  1. You identify a warm path from your team to a target person
  2. CTD generates a draft email addressed from your connector to the target
  3. Your connector receives the draft, reviews it, and sends it with one click
  4. You're CC'd when the target replies

The result: your connector doesn't have to write anything, and the introduction still comes from a trusted voice.

Creating a ghost email via MCP

With CTD connected in your AI client, try this prompt:

Find the best path from our team to [target person] at [company]. 
Draft a ghost email to [connector name] asking them to make the intro. 
The reason I want to connect: [your reason — keep it specific and valuable to the target].

Your AI assistant will call CTD to find the path, then draft the ghost email. You can ask it to revise the tone, shorten the message, or adjust the value proposition before sending.

Reviewing and sending

Once you're happy with the draft, ask your assistant to "Share the ghost email draft for approval" or "Send the ghost email to [connector name]."

Tip: The best ghost emails are under 100 words, name-drop a mutual context ("we both know X"), and make it easy for the target to say yes with a clear, low-commitment ask.

Tracking ghost emails

Ask your assistant: "List my pending ghost emails" to see which drafts are awaiting approval and which have been sent.
