SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Turning Sales Navigator search results into a live Apollo outbound campaign involves many manual, error-prone steps: resolving the right lead list, drafting sequence copy, creating the campaign, and activating it without accidentally spending credits or enrolling the wrong contacts. This Skill automates that pipeline while enforcing confirmation checkpoints before any spend-bearing or mutating Apollo action. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Setup and status checks: Verify APOLLO_API_KEY, Node/npx, and MCP registration for Codex or Claude Code hosts without ever printing secrets. - Lead resolution and preview: Resolve a Sales Nav run by query hint or manifest/state path, draft sequence copy, and generate local sequence_input.json and sequence_preview.md artifacts for review. - Guarded campaign build and activation: Create an inactive Apollo campaign only after preview approval, and activate it only when the user confirms the exact campaign ID. - Use Case: After running a Sales Navigator search for VP-level prospects, ask the agent to build an outbound sequence; it resolves the leads, shows you the exact email copy, creates an inactive Apollo campaign on approval, and activates it only after you confirm the campaign ID. ## Quick Start Use the build-outbound skill to turn my latest Sales Navigator search into an Apollo sequence and show me the email preview before building anything.

Frequently Asked Questions about build-outbound

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I turn Sales Navigator leads into an Apollo email sequence?▼

Run the build-outbound workflow, which resolves your Sales Nav run by query hint or manifest path, drafts sequence copy into a local preview, and creates an inactive Apollo campaign after you approve the preview. Activation happens only after you confirm the exact campaign ID.

How do I check Apollo setup status in Codex or Claude Code?▼

Use the $build-outbound status route, which runs the apollo_mcp.py status command and reports whether the API key, Node/npx, and MCP registration are present for your host. The key itself is never printed.

Does building an Apollo campaign activate sending automatically?▼

No. The build step only creates an inactive campaign; it never activates sending. Activation is a separate command that requires you to confirm the exact campaign ID returned by the build.

What do I need before running an Apollo outbound build?▼

You need an APOLLO_API_KEY (a Master key for sequence endpoints), a connected Apollo sending mailbox with an emailer schedule, and a Sales Navigator run under .powerpacks/sales-nav/runs/ or an explicit manifest/state path.

Can I test the Apollo outbound workflow without spending credits?▼

Yes. The resolve and preview commands are safe local read-only steps, and the build supports a --dry-run flag for local smoke checks. Live enrichment, campaign creation, and activation all require explicit approval.
