| name | send-cold-email |
| description | Send a cold email campaign or single message via the configured email provider (Instantly by default), optionally pre-drafting the sequence. Use when the user says 'send a cold email to this list', 'fire the email sequence', 'launch the email campaign', 'send the drip sequence', or 'email these qualified leads'. Side-effecting — calls Instantly API and writes to local SQLite + Notion. |
| version | 1.0.0 |
Send Cold Email
I'll wrap two CLIs — email:create-sequence (drafts the sequence) and email:send (fires it). Both side-effecting → both shell-out.
When This Skill Applies
- "send a cold email to this list"
- "fire the email sequence"
- "launch the email campaign"
- "send the drip sequence"
- "email these qualified leads"
NOT this skill (use launch-linkedin-campaign instead):
- "launch a LinkedIn campaign" — that's the connect+DM flow on LinkedIn.
NOT this skill (use personalize-message instead):
- "personalize a single email" — single per-lead variant, not bulk send.
Workflow
Step 0 — Ask for inputs
"Which result set, what subject + intro, how many touches?"
Step 1 — Validate (result set exists, intro non-empty)
Step 2 — Shell out to email:create-sequence
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts email:create-sequence --result-set <id> --subject "<subject>" --intro "<intro>"
(Verify exact flags via --help.)
Step 3 — Render the drafted sequence + ask for approval
"Drafted N messages across M touches. Send? (yes / preview only / cancel)"
Step 4 — On yes, shell out to email:send
npx tsx src/cli/index.ts email:send --sequence-id <id>
Step 5 — Render send result + offer follow-ups
"Want me to (a) track replies via track-campaigns, (b) personalize follow-ups for hot replies?"
Notes
- Requires
INSTANTLY_API_KEY (or whatever email provider is configured).
- Default cadence: day 0, day 3, day 7, day 14.
- The CLI enforces sending limits per the user's email accounts (Instantly handles deliverability).
