How It Works
Email infrastructure management
Domains are suggested and purchased, inboxes created, and DKIM, SPF, DMARC and MX records pushed to Cloudflare or GoDaddy. Warmup and daily send limits rotate per inbox to protect deliverability.
AI campaign creation
AI drafts each campaign from a knowledge base of previous campaigns, so new copy starts from what has already worked.
Campaign management from Airtable
Campaigns are created, edited, paused and scheduled in Smartlead from an Airtable interface, with progress and analytics on the same screen.
Lead management from Airtable
Lead lists are uploaded, deduplicated and assigned to campaigns from Airtable, with each lead's status kept current as it moves through the sequence.
Auto routing and smart replies
Every reply is categorized by AI. Interested leads go to the client, not-interested ones are closed, and warm ones move to a nurture sub-campaign. Ambiguous replies are flagged for a person.
Meeting booking
Leads who ask for a meeting get a reply with real availability and the meeting lands on the client's calendar, without anyone writing the email.
