SalesBlink

MKT AUTO
Velocity5.0

Cold email outreach and sales automation platform with email warmup and sequences.

Three ways to drive SalesBlink without opening it: API, MCP, and now a CLI.

Current state
SalesBlink is a cold-email outreach platform that has spent 2026 making itself operable without its own interface. April brought an MCP server, May an OpenClaw integration, July an in-dashboard AI copilot metered in AI credits, and August a command-line interface covering sequences, leads, lists, senders, templates, inbox and inbox-placement tests. Running in parallel is unglamorous inbox work — attachments in reply threads, a rebuilt meeting scheduler, reply detection cut from hours to seconds — that keeps users from bouncing back to Gmail or Outlook.
Where it's heading
The strategy is one API with as many front doors as possible: the CLI notes place it explicitly after the APIs and MCP server, and pitch it at developers, agencies running multiple workspaces, and AI-assisted workflows. Nothing in the CLI is newly possible — it wraps calls the API already exposed — but it moves SalesBlink into scripts and CI/CD pipelines where no interface exists to click. Underneath all of it, deliverability remains the constraint being defended: security-gateway detection, placement tests, pre-configured mailboxes sold directly, all treating daily send quota as the scarce resource.
Prediction
Expect the CLI to pick up the credit-metered AI functions the copilot exposes, and the monthly digest to keep absorbing the smaller inbox and deliverability fixes between named launches.

    💻 Introducing SalesBlink CLI

    A third client surface over the same API, and the notes frame it that way — after the APIs and the MCP server comes the CLI. It covers sequences, leads, senders, templates and inbox placement tests with JSON when piped, CSV export, input validation and retry-with-backoff, which puts SalesBlink into scripts and CI/CD pipelines. Nothing is newly callable, so the capability surface is unchanged even though the reach is not.

    🎯 Attachments in Replies

    Attachments now work in both directions inside the SalesBlink inbox. It is a table-stakes gap rather than a new capability, but it removes one of the specific reasons a user would leave for Gmail or Outlook mid-conversation.

    Reply detection drops from hours to seconds

    The monthly digest, carrying the work that did not get its own announcement: reply detection cut from hours to seconds, sequence and task filtering, per-lead CSV status export, provider matching before launch, domain forwarding for done-for-you mailboxes, and a refreshed deliverability view. The reply-detection change is the one users will feel daily.

    A Better Meeting Scheduler is Here

    The meeting scheduler was rebuilt — booking page, timezone selector with search, confirmation page — and made whitelabel-ready with role-based access so partners can let their own clients connect calendars. It sits at the conversion end of the sequence the rest of the product feeds.

    🚀 SalesBlink AI Copilot is live in Dashboard

    ⚡ SPARK

    The point where the agent-facing track reached the dashboard itself: after the MCP server and OpenClaw integration made SalesBlink drivable from outside, the copilot made it drivable from inside, metered in AI credits. The August CLI extends the same one-API-many-doors pattern this release established.

    A duplicate capture of the AI Copilot announcement, published at the same timestamp with a shorter body and a slightly different title. The release it describes is covered by the copilot entry alongside it; this row carries no separate change.
