# Usecases overview

> Choose a practical workflow for reaching prospects or setting up customer support with Mermail.

Use Mermail for a specific business goal, from researching prospects and writing
outreach to setting up a support inbox for your brand. Each guide explains what
you need, how to run the workflow, and what to check before you finish.

## Choose your workflow

## Start with the right setup

* **A mailbox:** [Create a mailbox](/guides/create-mailbox) and choose the
  [workspace](/concepts/workspaces) that owns the workflow.
* **An assistant connection, when needed:** For workflows in an external AI
  assistant, [connect Mermail through MCP](/ai/mcp). The assistant's available
  tools depend on the connection and your permissions.
* **Paid research, when needed:** [Set up Agent Wallet](/agent-wallet/get-started)
  before using a paid service. Customer Support website setup does not require
  the Apify purchase described in Sale Outreach.

## What to expect from a guide

Use the example prompts as starting points. Replace the audience, sender,
business details, and budget with your own requirements. Check the selected
mailbox and any proposed external action before approving it.

Research results, saved emails, and sent emails are separate outcomes. A paid
research request does not send outreach, and preparing an email does not mean
it has been sent. Each guide includes checks for its final result.
