Before you start

  • Know the source you want the agent to inspect and the data you need back.
  • Decide whether the output should create contacts, enrich a list, or simply return research.
  • Use sources you are allowed to access and review outputs before using them.

Steps

Step 1

Open Agents

Go to AI Agents and start a new agent. Choose an AI-assisted or manual setup depending on how much control you need.

Step 5

Run and review

Run the agent on a small sample first. Review the output before approving changes to lists, contacts, campaigns, or CRM data.

What happens next

  • Save the agent only after the sample output is useful and predictable.
  • Use run history to audit what the agent saw, produced, and changed.

FAQ

Should agents update my workspace automatically?

Use approvals for sensitive workflows. Let the agent prepare work, then review before changes affect contacts, lists, campaigns, or CRM records.

What if the agent returns empty results?

Improve the source, inputs, and instructions. Empty output usually means the prompt was too broad, the source was unavailable, or the needed data was not present.

Automate workUse agents where review still matters

Let agents research, enrich, or draft work, then review outputs before they affect your workspace.
