New CRM lead gets a personalised outreach draft in Slack

When a new lead enters HubSpot, the agent adds them to the active CraftDraft campaign list and generates a personalised cold email using the AIDA framework with the prospect's company details. The draft lands in #sales-drafts for a 30-second rep review. Approved messages are queued automatically — reps close more deals without spending time on prospecting copy.

FAQs

Questions about CraftDraft + Actionist

How does Actionist connect to CraftDraft?
Go to the Apps tab, find CraftDraft, and click Connect. CraftDraft uses API key authentication — log in to your CraftDraft account, navigate to Settings, and copy your API key. Paste it into the API key field in Actionist. The agent runs a test call to confirm the handshake before any actions run.
What credentials does the agent need to access my CraftDraft account?
Actionist connects to CraftDraft using your account API key. This gives the agent access to your contact lists, campaigns, generated content, and CraftBot configurations. The API key inherits the permissions of the account that generated it, so use a dedicated key if you want to restrict access to specific features.
Can I connect CraftDraft to other apps in the same agent task?
Yes. CraftDraft integrates naturally with your CRM, email platform, and sales tools. Common pairings: pull new leads from HubSpot and generate personalised outreach copy in CraftDraft; export CraftDraft contact lists to Google Sheets for tracking; sync generated LinkedIn message sequences into Slack for team review before send. Any of Actionist's connected apps can send data to or receive data from CraftDraft in the same agent task.
What are the most common things agents do with CraftDraft?
The most common agent patterns are: (1) prospect discovery — building a contact list around a target ICP and importing it to your CRM; (2) content generation at scale — drafting LinkedIn messages, email subject lines, and follow-up sequences for every contact in a campaign; (3) campaign launch — creating a new outreach campaign with pre-drafted messages and scheduling the first send; (4) performance monitoring — retrieving campaign stats and posting a weekly digest to Slack; (5) CraftBot maintenance — updating the knowledge base for a CraftBot when new product documentation is published.
What types of content can the agent generate with CraftDraft?
CraftDraft's AI content generator supports over 70 templates across LinkedIn posts, email subject lines, cold outreach messages, blog intros, product descriptions, and marketing frameworks like AIDA and PAS. When you use the Generate Content action, you provide a template type and context, and the agent returns ready-to-use copy. You can pass that output directly into a follow-up step — for example, inserting it into a HubSpot email template or posting it to Slack for review.
How can the agent manage CraftBots and knowledge bases in CraftDraft?
CraftDraft CraftBots are AI chatbots trained on your knowledge base. Through the API, the agent can create a new CraftBot, upload or update knowledge base documents, and retrieve the bot's embed code or configuration. The typical setup is: upload product docs to the knowledge base, configure the bot's persona and tone, then retrieve the embed snippet to drop into your website or support portal. Actionist can trigger a knowledge base update automatically whenever your product documentation changes.
Does Actionist support CraftDraft's LinkedIn automation features?
CraftDraft's LinkedIn features automate connection requests and direct messages via SmartConnect. The agent can add contacts to a LinkedIn sequence and monitor send status through the campaign API. Note that LinkedIn automation is subject to LinkedIn's terms of service and CraftDraft's own rate limits — the platform manages compliance at the platform level, but you should review CraftDraft's LinkedIn usage guidelines before running high-volume sequences.
Can I pull campaign performance data from CraftDraft on a schedule?
Yes. Every CraftDraft campaign has a stats endpoint that returns total messages sent, open rates, reply rates, and bounces. Schedule the agent to pull campaign analytics on a weekly cadence and push the results to Google Sheets or Slack. You can also compare campaign performance across multiple campaigns in a single agent run — useful for A/B testing different messaging approaches and surfacing the winner automatically.
