Campaign control outcomes

What you can do

Your agent handles the heavy lifting in Mailshake.

PAUSE

Stop active outreach

The AI stops your current sequences immediately. This prevents more emails from going out while you adjust your strategy.

RESUME

Restart your sequences

Once you're ready, your AI kicks the campaign back into gear. It picks up exactly where the sequence left off.

IMPORT

Add new prospects

Your AI takes a new list and pushes it into a specific Mailshake campaign. This keeps your pipeline moving without manual CSV uploads.

HUMAN

Review and edit

The AI handles the execution, but you still own the strategy. You decide which lists to add and when to pull the plug on a campaign.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your agent acts as the bridge between your chat interface and your Mailshake account.

  1. Identify the campaign

    Your AI looks through your Mailshake account to find the specific sequence you want to change.

    pause_outreach_campaign

  2. Halt or restart outreach

    The agent executes the command to stop or continue the email flow based on your request.

    pause_outreach_campaign

  3. Inject new leads

    The AI takes the prospect data you provide and attaches it to the target campaign.

    add_prospects_to_campaign

  4. Confirm status

    The agent verifies the action was successful in Mailshake and tells you the result.

    add_prospects_to_campaign

FAQ

How this task behaves
