Overview

Three sentences about what the AI agent does and its benefits.

The AI Agent automatically pulls all leads from the database, filters those due for follow-up today, and routes each lead to the correct stage (1–4). It personalizes each email by inserting the recipient’s name and relevant fields, then sends via SMTP or Gmail and updates the record with the next schedule. It runs daily at a set time to ensure consistent follow-ups without manual intervention.

FAQ

FAQ

Practical questions and thorough answers.

The current flow focuses on follow-ups after initial contact. It can be customized to include an initial outreach step if you adjust the workflow. The AI agent will then handle subsequent follow-ups in the same cadence. You may need to modify the trigger and templates accordingly.

Yes. The cadence is defined by the date fields and the 'Update a row' steps. You can adjust day intervals, the number of follow-ups, and whether to skip weekends. Testing in a staging environment is recommended before deployment.

Not Interested leads are automatically excluded from future follow-ups. The agent maintains an audit trail showing which leads were marked uninterested and when. You can reclassify them if your strategy changes.

Data security depends on your database and sending services. Use encrypted connections, role-based access, and OAuth for Gmail. Regular audits and least-privilege access help minimize risk.

Absolutely. The agent is designed to work with NocoDB or other databases, and it can be adapted to pull leads from your CRM. You may need to map fields to ensure the cadence and personalization data align.

You can run a test batch with a small subset of leads and a sandbox Gmail account. Validate that the personalization renders correctly, the schedule updates, and that the Not Interested filtering works as expected. Use a manual trigger to step through each stage.

Deliverability depends on your email provider and content. Use proper warm-up, avoid spam triggers, and monitor bounce rates. The cadence should respect sending rate limits and recipient engagement signals to maintain sender reputation.
