Script marketing ops with Claude Code

`sf_campaign_members` extracts the exact lead types, response dates, and engagement statuses for any given campaign. You can pipe this output straight into a shell script to cross-reference marketing engagement against your backend user database. If you need to map out where the budget went, `sf_campaign_performance` dumps the aggregate costs and conversion totals into your terminal. A DevOps engineer can set this up as a cron job to fire weekly ROI reports into a Slack channel.

Headless campaign creation

`sf_create_campaign` takes parameters like YYYY-MM-DD dates, budget, and type to generate a new marketing record from the command line. You no longer need to log into a bloated web UI just to register a new webinar initiative. Once the record exists, `sf_search_campaigns` lets your terminal query the system by name to pull down the newly generated Salesforce ID. You can then inject that ID into your application's environment variables during a deployment pipeline.

Automate lead tracking via CLI

`sf_add_campaign_member` pushes a specific contact ID into a campaign and sets their initial status. When a new user signs up in your app, your backend can trigger a headless command to drop them immediately into a welcome sequence. To keep the database clean, `sf_campaigns_by_status` checks for Aborted or Completed initiatives. Your terminal agent scans these defunct records and archives the associated assets in your codebase.
