@Rafflys check the status of my active raffles and show me how many entries each one has received so far
Based on your Rafflys account, you have 2 active raffles. 'Summer Giveaway 2024' has 347 entries with 4 days remaining. 'Product Launch Contest' has 89 entries and closes in 12 hours. Both raffles are collecting email addresses and require participants to follow your social accounts. Entry rates for the Summer Giveaway averaged 28 per day over the last week.
This read-heavy example assumes the MCP can fetch raffle metadata and entry counts. Requires valid API key with read permissions. Actual response structure depends on how Rafflys organizes raffle data—some platforms separate draft vs. live vs. completed raffles into different endpoints.
@Rafflys create a new raffle called 'Holiday Bundle Giveaway' that runs for 14 days and requires email plus Instagram follow to enter
Created raffle 'Holiday Bundle Giveaway' in your Rafflys account. The raffle is set to run for 14 days starting now and will end on December 28th at 11:59 PM UTC. Entry requirements configured: valid email address and Instagram account verification. The raffle is currently in draft mode—you'll need to add prize details and publish it through the Rafflys dashboard before entries can be collected.
This write example shows raffle creation but highlights a common workflow gap: most raffle platforms require manual prize configuration and publishing steps that can't be fully automated via API. The MCP can scaffold the raffle structure but won't handle payment processing or legal compliance text, which you must add separately.
@Rafflys pull all entries from my 'Summer Giveaway' raffle and draft an email announcing the winner, making sure to mention the runner-up for a consolation prize
Retrieved 347 entries from 'Summer Giveaway 2024'. The randomly selected winner is Sarah Chen (sarah.chen@example.com), entry #284 submitted on June 15th. Runner-up is Marcus Johnson (m.johnson@example.com), entry #102. Here's a draft announcement: 'Congratulations to Sarah Chen, our Summer Giveaway winner! Sarah will receive the full prize package. Special mention to Marcus Johnson as our runner-up—we're sending you a consolation gift as thanks for participating. Thank you to all 347 entrants for making this our biggest giveaway yet.'
This synthesis example combines data retrieval with AI drafting. The winner selection logic depends on Rafflys' API—some platforms handle random selection server-side, others return all entries for client-side processing. Be aware that exporting participant data may trigger GDPR or privacy compliance requirements depending on your jurisdiction and how entries were collected.
Use-case deep-dives
When you need user feedback before building features
A 3-person startup wants to validate feature ideas with their first 200 users before committing engineering time. Rafflys runs quick polls and surveys that surface which roadmap items actually matter. The API key auth means any team member can query results in Switchy without waiting on a dev to wire up OAuth. This works when you're moving fast and the feedback loop is weekly or faster. If you're running quarterly NPS surveys with complex branching logic, a dedicated survey platform gives you more control. For teams under 10 people who need to ask users 'should we build X or Y' and get answers in 48 hours, Rafflys keeps the process lightweight. Connect it in Switchy so product and eng see the same data without switching tools.
Using live sentiment to route support tickets
A 6-person SaaS support team gets 40 tickets a day and wants to prioritize based on customer mood, not just subject line keywords. Rafflys captures sentiment from in-app feedback widgets and short post-interaction surveys. The MCP lets support leads query 'which accounts flagged frustration this week' directly in Switchy alongside ticket data from other integrations. This scenario works when your support volume is under 100 tickets daily and you're not running a full CX platform yet. Above that threshold, you need deeper analytics and automated routing that Rafflys doesn't provide. For small teams where one person triages the queue each morning, pulling Rafflys sentiment into the same workspace as Linear or GitHub issues surfaces patterns you'd otherwise miss. Set it up once and check it daily.
When you shipped a feature and need to know if anyone cares
A 5-person product team just released a new dashboard view and wants to know within two weeks if users understand it. Rafflys runs targeted micro-surveys to the cohort who saw the feature, asking one or two questions about clarity and usefulness. The MCP integration means the PM can pull adoption signals into Switchy without logging into another dashboard or waiting for the next analytics review. This works for teams shipping every sprint who need qualitative feedback faster than monthly user interviews provide. If you're already running Amplitude or Mixpanel with robust event tracking, Rafflys adds survey context but won't replace your quantitative data. For teams who ship often and want to hear from users in their own words within days, not weeks, Rafflys closes the loop. Wire it into Switchy so the whole team sees what users actually said.
Frequently asked
What does the Rafflys MCP do in Switchy?
The Rafflys MCP connects your Switchy workspace to Rafflys' platform, letting AI assistants query and interact with your Rafflys data without switching contexts. Since tool details aren't public yet, expect read and write operations typical of API integrations — fetching records, updating entries, or triggering workflows based on your team's Rafflys setup.
Do I need admin access to connect Rafflys via API key?
You'll need an API key from Rafflys, which typically requires account-level permissions to generate. Check your Rafflys dashboard for API settings — most platforms restrict key creation to admins or workspace owners. If you're not an admin, ask whoever manages your Rafflys account to create a key and share it securely with your Switchy workspace.
Can the Rafflys MCP create new records or just read them?
API key auth usually grants both read and write access unless Rafflys scopes keys differently. Assume the MCP can create, update, and delete records if your key has those permissions. If you need read-only access for safety, check whether Rafflys lets you generate restricted keys — otherwise, audit what your team's AI assistants do with the connection.
How does using Rafflys through Switchy compare to the Rafflys web app?
The MCP lets AI assistants pull Rafflys data into conversations and automate actions without you opening another tab. You lose the visual interface and any UI-only features Rafflys offers, but gain speed for repetitive queries and the ability to combine Rafflys data with other tools in the same chat thread.
Who on my team should manage the Rafflys connection?
Whoever owns your Rafflys account and understands which data the team needs access to. They'll generate the API key and paste it into Switchy's MCP settings. After that, any workspace member can use the integration in their chats, so make sure your Rafflys permissions align with who you trust to query or modify that data.
