Intent list → verified → loaded into a Lemlist campaign

Sixty in-market companies, verified champion emails, a signal-grounded three-step sequence per lead, all loaded into a Lemlist campaign held for your review.

The problem this solves

An outbound launch is really four projects wearing one name: sourcing a list worth mailing, finding and verifying the right person at each company, writing sequences that reference something real, and loading it all into the sending tool without mangling the custom fields. Each project has a different natural owner, which is why launches take two weeks of relay-race handoffs and why the quality degrades at every baton pass - the writer never sees the signals, the loader never reads the copy.

Skipping steps has sharp costs. Skip intent, and the list is a cold directory. Skip verification, and the campaign's first achievement is a bounce spike that damages the domain the whole program depends on. Skip signal-grounded copy, and sixty prospects receive the same email wearing sixty names. The steps compound in value precisely because each one feeds the next, and that is also why doing them as one continuous motion beats doing them as four handoffs.

The finish line matters too: a campaign sitting in Lemlist fully assembled but deliberately unsent. Launch-ready is the correct resting state, because the person who reviews the batch should be deciding whether to send, never rebuilding what to send. One click separates review from launch, and keeping that click human is what makes the rest of the automation safe to trust.

How the mission runs

  1. Source 60 in-market companies with Intent Data. The agent pulls 60 companies showing active buying intent on your category, weighted for recency and momentum. Each company carries its specific signals forward through the mission, because the same evidence that qualified the account is about to personalize its sequence.
  2. Find the champion with Email Finder. At each company, Email Finder identifies the right champion for your offer and returns their work email with name and title. The choice of person is driven by what the intent pattern suggests - who at this company most plausibly owns the problem being researched.
  3. Verify every address before it enters the campaign. Email Verification runs on all 60 contacts. Only deliverable addresses proceed into the campaign; risky and unknown results are split into an exceptions list. A campaign built on verified contacts protects the sending domain, which is the asset every future campaign depends on.
  4. Write the three-step sequence per lead. For each verified champion, the agent drafts a personalized three-step sequence grounded in their company's actual signals - the opener references the evidence, the follow-ups escalate with restraint. The copy is written per lead rather than per template, with custom fields used for structure rather than as a personalization fig leaf.
  5. Load the campaign into Lemlist, held for review. Leads and their sequences are created in a new Lemlist campaign, fully assembled and deliberately unlaunched. A summary reports what went in: list size after verification, the signal distribution, and copy samples. You review in Lemlist and launch when it earns the click.

The prompt

This is the exact objective the agent receives. Swap the obvious placeholders for your own domain, segment or channel and run it as-is from the console, Slack, or the API.

⟨ THE MISSION PROMPT · PASTE AND RUN ⟩

Find 60 companies showing buying intent on my category, get verified emails for the right champion at each, write a personalized three-step sequence grounded in their signals, and load leads plus sequence into a new Lemlist campaign ready for my review.

What comes back

A complete, unlaunched campaign in Lemlist: up to 60 verified champions at companies with live intent on your category, each with a personalized three-step sequence grounded in their signals, plus a mission summary covering verification results and exceptions. The entire launch-prep relay collapses into one reviewable artifact, and the send decision remains exactly where it belongs - with you.

Make it yours

  • Run the mission monthly as your standing top-of-funnel motion, with each batch drawn from that month's fresh intent picture so no two campaigns overlap.
  • Split the 60 into two campaign variants with different angle framings, and let Lemlist's numbers pick the winner for next month.
  • Tighten the batch to 25 leads with five-step sequences when your market is narrow and each qualified account deserves the longer, more patient arc.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the campaign arrive paused?

Because assembling and sending are different decisions. The agent compresses sourcing, verification, writing, and loading into one motion; the launch click stays human so a person confirms list quality and copy voice first. Review typically takes minutes because everything arrives organized for exactly that purpose.

What happens to contacts that fail verification?

They never enter the campaign. The exceptions list names each company where the champion's address could not be confirmed deliverable, so you can hunt alternates or drop them. Your bounce rate is decided before launch rather than discovered after it.

How personalized is each sequence really?

Each is drafted from that company's own intent signals - the topics they researched and the momentum pattern - so openers differ in substance rather than in inserted first names. The summary includes samples across the batch, and the review pass in Lemlist is where you confirm the depth meets your bar.
