Smartlead for AI agents

Smartlead is a sales engagement platform for running cold email campaigns across many sending accounts, tracking replies and deliverability at scale. Connect it once through Arc0, and your agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, can use it through one MCP endpoint, limited to what each user approved.

What agents do in Smartlead.

01

Check campaign performance before scaling

Get a campaign's stats to confirm reply and bounce rates before adding more prospects to it.

02

List replies needing a response

List inbox replies across campaigns so a rep can see who responded before drafting a follow-up.

03

Confirm before deleting a campaign

Review a campaign's details and require confirmation before deleting it, since the action removes its history and schedule.

02 · ACTIONS

19 Smartlead actions, graded by risk.

Every Smartlead action is tagged read, write or destructive, so one policy covers the whole app and new actions inherit the right default.

04 · AUTH AND DATA

How Smartlead connects.

Users add their Smartlead api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

The same Smartlead connection serves your agent over MCP and your own backend over REST and the proxy, so a user connects once. How Arc0 handles credentials →

07 · FAQ

Smartlead and Arc0, answered.

Q01

Can I use Smartlead with Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor?

Yes. Connect Smartlead to Arc0 once, then add your Arc0 MCP URL to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or any other remote-MCP client. Each assistant only gets the Smartlead actions you allow.

Q02

How do users connect Smartlead?

Users add their Smartlead api key on Arc0 Connect. It is encrypted in the vault, never shown to the model, and each user can rotate or revoke it at any time.

Q03

Which Smartlead actions can my agent take?

19 in total: 15 read, 2 write and 2 destructive, such as “create Draft Campaign”. Your policies decide which of them each agent may call.

Q04

Can I stop my agent from deleting things in Smartlead?

Yes. Actions like “delete Campaign” are graded destructive. Set destructive actions to deny, or to ask so the user approves each one, and blocked calls still show up on the audit log.

Q05

Can my own backend call Smartlead too?

Yes. The same Smartlead connection is available over REST and through the Arc0 proxy, so your product and your agent share one connection per user.
