Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end — don't gate your response behind gathering complete context.
Note: If the user needs a specialized skill, route them there with a brief explanation of why that skill is a better fit.
向用户询问:
  1. 你需要Mailshake哪方面的帮助?
    • A) 营销活动 — 创建、管理或优化邮件营销活动(策略相关请跳转至
      /sales-cadence

    • F) 其他
  3. 你想要达成什么目标?(描述你的具体需求或问题)
如果用户的请求已包含大部分上述上下文,可直接跳至对应步骤。 先基于合理假设给出初步解答(需明确说明假设),再仅询问最关键的1-2个补充问题 — 不要要求用户提供完整上下文后才给出回复。
注意:如果用户的需求属于特定细分场景,请引导至对应技能模块并简要说明原因。

Step 2 — Route or answer directly

步骤2 — 引导至对应模块或直接解答

If the request maps to a specialized skill, route:
  • List building / prospecting →
    /sales-prospect-list
  • Contact enrichment / data hygiene →
    /sales-enrich
  • Cadence strategy / sequence design →
    /sales-cadence
  • Cross-platform deliverability →

步骤3 — Mailshake平台参考指南

Provide module-by-module guidance based on the user's area:
根据用户的需求领域提供分模块指导:

Campaigns

营销活动

  • What it is: A campaign in Mailshake is a multi-step email sequence — an initial message plus follow-ups sent automatically on a schedule
  • Key concepts: Campaign = sequence, messages = steps, follow-up types (time-based drip, reply-based, click-based on-click message)
  • Campaign statuses: draft, active, paused, ended
  • A/B testing: Available on higher plans — test subject lines and body content across variants
  • Best practices: Keep initial emails under 125 words, personalize with merge fields ({{first}}, {{company}}), test one variable at a time
  • 定义:Mailshake中的营销活动是一个多步骤邮件序列 — 包含初始邮件及按计划自动发送的跟进邮件
  • 核心概念:营销活动=序列,邮件=步骤,跟进类型(基于时间的drip推送、基于回复的触发、基于点击的触发邮件)
  • 营销活动状态:草稿、活跃、暂停、已结束
  • A/B测试:仅高级套餐可用 — 测试不同主题行和邮件内容变体
  • 最佳实践:初始邮件字数控制在125词以内,使用合并字段({{first}}, {{company}})进行个性化,每次仅测试一个变量

Recipients

收件人

  • What it is: The contacts enrolled in a campaign — imported via CSV, API, or manual entry
  • Required fields: Only
    emailAddress
    is mandatory. Everything else is optional but recommended.
  • Recommended fields:
    first
    ,
    last
    ,
    company
    ,
    title
    — these map to merge fields {{first}}, {{last}}, {{company}}, {{title}}
  • Custom merge fields: Any additional CSV column becomes a custom merge field automatically
  • Recipient statuses: active, paused, bounced, unsubscribed, completed
  • CSV import tips: UTF-8 encoding, first row = headers, one email per row, verify emails before import (Mailshake does not verify on upload)
  • 定义:加入营销活动的联系人 — 可通过CSV、API或手动录入导入
  • 必填字段:仅
    emailAddress
    为必填项,其余为可选但推荐填写
  • 推荐字段
    first
    ,
    last
    ,
    company
    ,
    title
    — 对应合并字段{{first}}, {{last}}, {{company}}, {{title}}
  • 自定义合并字段:CSV中的额外列会自动成为自定义合并字段
  • 收件人状态:活跃、暂停、退回、退订、已完成
  • CSV导入提示:使用UTF-8编码,首行为表头,每行一个邮箱地址,导入前验证邮箱有效性(Mailshake不会在上传时自动验证)

Lead Catcher

Lead Catcher

  • What it is: Built-in lead management that automatically captures replies as leads for follow-up
  • Lead statuses: open (needs action), won/closed (converted), ignored (not a lead), lost (dead)
  • Key features: Auto-assign leads to team members, filter by status/campaign/assignee, view full conversation thread
  • Lead Catcher vs CRM: Lead Catcher manages the email conversation thread — your CRM manages the deal. Push qualified leads to CRM via integration or API.
  • Best practices: Check Lead Catcher daily, respond within 1 hour for best conversion, use status labels consistently
  • 定义:内置线索管理工具,可自动将回复捕获为线索以便跟进
  • 线索状态:待处理(需跟进)、已成交/已关闭(已转化)、忽略(非线索)、已流失(无效)
  • 核心功能:自动将线索分配给团队成员,按状态/营销活动/负责人筛选,查看完整对话线程
  • Lead Catcher vs CRM:Lead Catcher管理邮件对话线程 — CRM管理交易流程。可通过集成或API将合格线索推送至CRM。
  • 最佳实践:每日查看Lead Catcher,1小时内回复以获得最佳转化效果,统一使用状态标签

Deliverability Basics

送达率基础

  • Sender accounts: Connect Gmail, Outlook/O365, or SMTP. Each sender has a daily sending limit.
  • Sending limits: Varies by plan and email provider. Gmail caps at ~400-500/day, O365 at ~1,000/day. Mailshake enforces plan limits on top of provider limits.
  • Domain auth: Configure SPF/DKIM/DMARC for your sending domain. Use a custom tracking domain for link tracking.
  • Warmup: For new mailboxes, start with 20-30 emails/day and increase by 10-20 per week. See
    /sales-deliverability
    for a full warmup framework.
  • Sender rotation: Distribute sends across multiple sender accounts to protect reputation
  • 发件人账户:可连接Gmail、Outlook/O365或SMTP账户。每个发件人有每日发送限额。
  • 发送限额:因套餐和邮件服务商而异。Gmail每日限额约400-500封,O365约1000封。Mailshake会在服务商限额基础上额外执行套餐限额。
  • 域名认证:为发件域名配置SPF/DKIM/DMARC。使用自定义跟踪域名进行链接跟踪。
  • 邮箱暖养:对于新邮箱,从每日20-30封开始,每周增加10-20封。完整暖养框架请查看
    /sales-deliverability
  • 发件人轮换:在多个发件人账户间分配发送任务以保护发件人信誉

Analytics

数据分析

  • Built-in dashboards: Campaign-level and account-level performance metrics
  • Key metrics: Sent, opens, clicks, replies, bounces, unsubscribes, Lead Catcher leads
  • Team analytics: Compare performance across team members and campaigns
  • Best practices: Monitor bounce rate weekly (<3% target), track positive reply rate not just opens
  • 内置仪表盘:营销活动级和账户级的表现指标
  • 核心指标:发送量、打开率、点击率、回复率、退回率、退订率、Lead Catcher线索量
  • 团队数据分析:对比团队成员和营销活动的表现
  • 最佳实践:每周监控退回率(目标<3%),重点跟踪正向回复率而非仅打开率

Senders & Team

发件人与团队

  • Senders: Connected email accounts used for sending. Each has its own daily limit and reputation.
  • Team: Members can be assigned campaigns and leads. Roles control access.
  • Sender management: Settings > Senders to connect, configure from-name, set daily limits
  • 发件人:用于发送邮件的关联邮箱账户。每个账户有独立的每日限额和信誉。
  • 团队:成员可被分配营销活动和线索。角色控制访问权限。
  • 发件人管理:进入设置>发件人页面进行账户连接、配置发件人名称、设置每日限额

Gotchas

注意事项

  • Don't confuse Lead Catcher with a CRM. Lead Catcher captures and tracks email replies — it's a triage tool, not a deal pipeline. Qualified leads should be pushed to Salesforce/HubSpot for pipeline management. Claude often treats Lead Catcher as a full CRM replacement.
  • Don't use "sequence" when talking about Mailshake. Mailshake calls them "campaigns." Using "sequence" (Apollo/Salesloft terminology) confuses the user and the UI. Always say "campaign" for Mailshake.
  • Don't assume deliverability is configured. New Mailshake accounts often have no SPF/DKIM/DMARC, no custom tracking domain, and no warmup plan. Always check domain auth status before troubleshooting send issues.
  • Don't recommend features available only on higher plans without asking. A/B testing, team analytics, and some integrations are plan-gated. Ask about the user's plan before recommending these features.
  • Don't ignore Mailshake's API rate limits. 100 requests/minute is strict. Bulk operations (adding thousands of recipients) must be batched with rate limiting. Claude tends to generate tight loops without delays.
  • 不要将Lead Catcher与CRM混淆。 Lead Catcher捕获并跟踪邮件回复 — 它是一个分流工具,而非交易管道管理工具。合格线索应推送至Salesforce/HubSpot进行管道管理。Claude常误将Lead Catcher当作完整CRM使用。
  • 在提及Mailshake时不要使用“sequence”一词。 Mailshake将其称为“campaigns”。使用“sequence”(Apollo/Salesloft术语)会混淆用户和UI。提及Mailshake时请始终使用“campaign”。
  • 不要默认送达率配置已完成。 新的Mailshake账户通常未配置SPF/DKIM/DMARC、无自定义跟踪域名且无暖养计划。排查发送问题前请先检查域名认证状态。
  • 推荐仅高级套餐可用的功能前请先询问用户套餐。 A/B测试、团队数据分析和部分集成功能是套餐专属的。推荐前请先确认用户的套餐类型。
  • 不要忽略Mailshake的API速率限制。 每分钟100次请求的限制较为严格。批量操作(添加数千个收件人)必须分批处理并遵守速率限制。Claude常生成无延迟的紧凑循环。

Troubleshooting

故障排查

Low open rates

打开率低

Symptom: Campaign open rates below 30% Cause: Missing domain authentication, poor sender reputation, or weak subject lines Solution: Verify SPF/DKIM/DMARC in your DNS. Set up a custom tracking domain. Check sender reputation. A/B test subject lines. See
/sales-deliverability
for a full diagnosis framework.
症状:营销活动打开率低于30% 原因:缺少域名认证、发件人信誉差或主题行吸引力不足 解决方案:在DNS中验证SPF/DKIM/DMARC配置。设置自定义跟踪域名。检查发件人信誉。A/B测试主题行。完整诊断框架请查看
/sales-deliverability

Emails bouncing

邮件退回

Symptom: Bounce rate above 3% Cause: Unverified email list or stale data Solution: Verify emails before import using a verification tool (NeverBounce, ZeroBounce). Remove hard bounces immediately. Mailshake does not verify on upload — this is your responsibility.
症状:退回率高于3% 原因:邮箱列表未验证或数据过时 解决方案:导入前使用验证工具(NeverBounce、ZeroBounce)验证邮箱有效性。立即移除硬退回邮箱。Mailshake不会在上传时自动验证 — 这是您的责任。

Lead Catcher not capturing replies

Lead Catcher未捕获回复

Symptom: Replies come in but don't appear in Lead Catcher Cause: Lead Catcher not enabled for the campaign, or reply detected as out-of-office/bounce Solution: Check campaign settings — Lead Catcher must be enabled per campaign. Auto-replies and OOO messages are filtered out by default. Check the Activity > Replies tab to confirm the reply was received.
症状:收到回复但未出现在Lead Catcher中 原因:营销活动未启用Lead Catcher,或回复被识别为自动回复/退回 解决方案:检查营销活动设置 — 需为每个营销活动单独启用Lead Catcher。自动回复和外出办公消息默认会被过滤。进入活动>回复标签页确认是否收到该回复。
