About SalesBlink
SalesBlink ships a CLI — cold email outreach now scriptable from the terminal and CI/CD pipelines
SalesBlink has launched a command-line interface exposing sequences, leads, lists, senders, templates, inbox, and inbox placement tests from the terminal — built explicitly for automation scripts and CI/CD pipelines. The MCP server was upgraded to OAuth the same week, making AI agent connections possible without copying API keys, and it now works across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and Copilot.
