Connect Emelia to Actionist and your agents can launch campaigns the moment a lead qualifies, remove contacts the instant a deal closes, monitor bounce rates before they hurt your sender reputation, and route every reply to the right rep with context attached.

Reply detected — SDR notified in 60 seconds

When a prospect's email lands in Gmail matching an open campaign thread, your agent reads the reply, classifies its sentiment, and pulls that contact's full Emelia campaign history. It posts a formatted Slack alert to the owning SDR with the reply text, sentiment label, and campaign step — then drops a follow-up meeting on the calendar. The SDR responds within the hour, not the next morning.

FAQs

Questions about Emelia + Actionist

How do I connect Emelia to Actionist?

Open the Apps tab, find Emelia, and click Connect. MCP is the default — you'll approve a permission scope in your Emelia account and the handshake completes in under a minute. If you prefer a direct API token, switch to 'API key' in the connection screen, generate a key in Emelia → Settings → API Keys, and paste it in. Either method gives the agent full access to campaigns and contacts.

What permissions does the Actionist agent need in Emelia?

The agent needs read and write access to campaigns and contacts. For the MCP connection, approve the scope Actionist requests during the OAuth flow — it covers campaign management and contact enrolment. For API key connections, generate a token in Emelia's settings; by default Emelia API keys have full account access, so keep the token secret and rotate it if your environment changes.

Can the agent enrol contacts into multiple campaigns at once?

Yes — the agent calls Add Contact or Add to contact list once per campaign per contact. For bulk enrolment from a CRM or spreadsheet, the agent iterates through the list and adds each contact individually. Emelia rate-limits its API, so the agent spaces calls to avoid hitting limits; for lists over 500 contacts, expect the process to take a few minutes rather than seconds.

How does the agent handle unsubscribes to stay GDPR-compliant?

Set up the Unsubscribed Contact trigger in Actionist. When it fires, the agent can blacklist the email in Emelia, mark the contact as opted-out in your CRM, and log the suppression event with a timestamp in a compliance sheet. This two-system sync means the suppression holds even if contacts are imported from a new list — the blacklist in Emelia acts as the final gate.

Can I use the agent to run A/B tests across Emelia campaigns?

Yes. Create two campaigns in Emelia with variant subject lines or copy, then use the agent to start both simultaneously (Start campaign × 2). After a set number of days, the agent reads Get campaign stats for both, compares open or reply rates, and posts the result to Slack or writes it to a sheet. Optionally, it can pause the lower-performing variant automatically once a minimum sample size is reached.

Will the agent accidentally email someone who already replied?

Emelia stops sequence steps automatically when a contact replies, so the agent doesn't need to manage this at the sequence level. However, if you're using the Email Replied trigger to route contacts into a new campaign, ensure you also call Remove contact from campaign on the original sequence first — otherwise, a manual restart of the original campaign could re-engage them.

How do I keep bounce rates below the safe threshold?

Use the Email Bounced trigger to blacklist hard bounces immediately and flag soft bounces for enrichment. Pair this with a weekly Get campaign stats check — the agent reads bounce rate across all active campaigns and pauses any that exceed 5%, posting an alert to your deliverability channel. Emelia's warmup feature handles inbox reputation on the sender side; the agent handles the list-hygiene side.

What happens if I disconnect Emelia from Actionist?

Existing Emelia campaigns continue running — disconnecting only removes the agent's API access. Any workflows using Emelia actions or triggers will fail silently until you reconnect. To reconnect, go to Apps → Emelia → Reconnect and reauthorise. No campaign data is deleted by the disconnection; it's purely an access change on Actionist's side.
