Deepline Quickstart

Quick Start

npm install -g deepline
# Fallback for secure sandboxes: mkdir -p "$HOME/.local" && npm config set prefix "$HOME/.local" && export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH" && npm install -g deepline --registry https://code.deepline.com/api/v2/npm/
deepline auth register --wait auto
deepline auth wait --timeout 120 # completes Cowork/browser approval; no-op if already connected
deepline auth status
deepline -h

Run a high-confidence demo recipe to show the user what Deepline can do. Pick the most relevant recipe below, or default to Recipe 1 if no context is given.

Always prefer the hardcoded recipes below. /deepline-gtm is always available as a fallback but should only be used if: (a) a recipe command fails and all fallbacks are exhausted, or (b) the user's ask doesn't match any recipe here. Never invoke it preemptively.

Execution flow

Follow this pattern for every recipe:

1. Tell the user what you're about to do — explain the goal and which data source(s) you'll use, before running anything.
2. Run the recipe directly. For this default quickstart, do not spend time on separate session/progress commands; they do not improve the demo.
3. Tell the user the results — summarize what came back, where it came from, and the exact CSV path they can inspect next.

CLI surface

This quickstart needs to be fast. Do not run deepline --version, deepline auth status, or separate CLI discovery commands on the fast path. Use the SDK CLI deepline enrich shape with --name quickstart-ny-cto-email and the hyphenated person-linkedin-to-email prebuilt id. If a retry needs command-shape confirmation, use deepline --help or deepline enrich --help.

Recipe 1 — Find CTOs at NY startups

Goal: Find 5 CTOs at startups in New York with verified emails and LinkedIn profiles. Data sources: Dropleads (people search) + waterfall email enrichment via person-linkedin-to-email.

Steps:

1. Search Dropleads for CTOs in New York
2. Waterfall enrich emails
3. Display results

Fast path

For the default quickstart, run this whole block as one Bash call. Do not split it into separate tool calls. Do not inspect the JSON, run csv show, print the CSV with Python, or run extra validation after the enrich command; those checks make the quickstart miss the one-minute budget.

set -e
mkdir -p deepline/data

deepline tools execute dropleads_search_people --json --payload '{
  "filters": {
    "jobTitles": ["CTO"],
    "personalStates": {"include": ["New York"]},
    "employeeRanges": ["1-10", "11-50", "51-200"]
  },
  "pagination": {"page": 1, "limit": 5}
}' > deepline/data/quickstart_search.json

python3 - <<'PY'
import csv, json
d = json.load(open("deepline/data/quickstart_search.json"))
leads = (
    d.get("result", {}).get("data", {}).get("leads")
    or d.get("toolResponse", {}).get("raw", {}).get("leads")
    or d.get("leads")
    or d.get("output_preview", {}).get("preview")
    or []
)
if not leads:
    raise SystemExit("No Dropleads leads returned")

with open("deepline/data/quickstart_ny_ctos.csv", "w", newline="") as f:
    w = csv.DictWriter(f, ["first_name", "last_name", "company", "title", "linkedin_url"])
    w.writeheader()
    for r in leads[:5]:
        url = (r.get("linkedinUrl") or r.get("linkedin_url") or "").strip()
        if url.startswith("http://"):
            url = "https://" + url[len("http://"):]
        w.writerow({
            "first_name": r.get("firstName") or r.get("first_name") or "",
            "last_name": r.get("lastName") or r.get("last_name") or "",
            "company": r.get("companyName") or r.get("company") or "",
            "title": r.get("title") or "",
            "linkedin_url": url,
        })

deepline enrich --input deepline/data/quickstart_ny_ctos.csv --output deepline/data/quickstart_enriched.csv --name quickstart-ny-cto-email --all \
  --with '{"alias":"email","tool":"person-linkedin-to-email","payload":{"linkedin_url":"{{linkedin_url}}"}}'

Step 1 — Search

Only use the detailed steps below if the fast path fails.

deepline tools execute dropleads_search_people --payload '{
  "filters": {
    "jobTitles": ["CTO"],
    "personalStates": {"include": ["New York"]},
    "employeeRanges": ["1-10", "11-50", "51-200"]
  },
  "pagination": {"page": 1, "limit": 5}
}'

Note the output CSV path from the result.

Step 2 — Waterfall enrich emails

First, make sure the CSV has plain string columns named first_name, last_name, and linkedin_url. If the Dropleads result uses fullName and linkedinUrl, normalize those columns locally instead of running a separate Deepline enrichment pass; this quickstart should spend paid work only on the email waterfall. Use full https://www.linkedin.com/in/... URLs.

Then run the waterfall:

deepline enrich --input <normalized_csv> --output <enriched_csv> --name quickstart-ny-cto-email --all \
  --with '{"alias":"email","tool":"person-linkedin-to-email","payload":{"linkedin_url":"{{linkedin_url}}"}}'

Report the output CSV path after this step.

Step 3 — Display results

After the fast path finishes, do not run another command just to display rows. Tell the user the enriched CSV path and that emails were filled via the dedicated LinkedIn-to-email waterfall. Mention they can go deeper — phone, firmographics, job change signals — with /deepline-gtm.

Fallback (if Step 1 errors)

Tell the user, then try Dropleads:

deepline tools execute dropleads_search_people --payload '{
  "filters": {
    "jobTitles": ["CTO", "Chief Technology Officer"],
    "personalCountries": {"include": ["United States"]},
    "personalStates": {"include": ["New York"]},
    "personalCities": {"include": ["New York"]}
  },
  "pagination": {
    "page": 1,
    "limit": 5
  }
}'

Last resort

If all commands fail, tell the user, then invoke /deepline-gtm:
