Perplexity

Control outbound campaigns from Claude Desktop

The `list_campaigns` tool lets Claude Desktop pull your active cold outreach campaigns directly into your chat window. You do not have to keep a browser tab open to check which tracks are running or how they are performing. Once you select a sequence, the `get_campaign` tool fetches the exact structure. Claude Desktop can analyze the copy and suggest immediate improvements based on live campaign performance.

Instant lead routing and enrollment

Use `add_lead` to push new prospects from your Claude Desktop scratchpad straight into your active sending sequences. Your AI client reads raw data from your local files and formats it for Lemlist without manual data entry. If a prospect is cold or bounces, the `delete_lead` tool lets your agent purge them instantly. You clean your lists inside your chat window before bad data hurts your sender reputation.

Real-time campaign pausing and resumption

The `pause_lead` tool halts outbound sequences for specific prospects the moment they reply or show negative intent. This prevents embarrassing follow-ups from sending after a prospect already booked a call. When a lead goes cold again or requests a later follow-up, use `resume_lead` to restart their sequence. This MCP Server handles the state changes instantly so your outreach sequence never misses a beat.
