🚦 What to let an agent do
✅ Safe to delegate
Creating lists, tagging contacts, drafting SMS templates, building agents,
searching numbers, pulling reports.
⚠️ Confirm first
Deleting anything, bulk contact edits, buying numbers, starting a live campaign,
changing dispositions your pipeline depends on.
🛠️ Things worth asking for
Lists and contacts
Lists and contacts
- “Create a power list called Q4 Solar Follow-up.”
- “Tag every contact dispositioned Interested in the last 30 days as
hot.” - “How many contacts in this list have no phone number?”
Phone numbers
Phone numbers
- “Search for numbers in the 312 area code.”
- “Which of my numbers are flagged for spam?”
- “List every number and what it is used for.”
Dispositions and pipeline
Dispositions and pipeline
- “List my dispositions and the pipeline stage each maps to.”
- “Which dispositions have no pipeline stage?”
Campaigns
Campaigns
- “Create a voice campaign for the Q4 Solar Follow-up list.”
- “What’s the status of my running campaigns?”
- “Pause the campaign called Aged Leads.”
Reports and exports
Reports and exports
- “Export last week’s call report as CSV.”
- “Summarise yesterday’s calls by disposition.”
✍️ How to phrase a change
1
Name the exact thing
“The power list called Q4 Solar Follow-up” beats “the solar list”. Names are
unambiguous; descriptions are not.
2
Say the scope out loud
“Contacts dispositioned Not Interested in the last 90 days” beats “the dead
ones”.
3
Ask for a dry run
“Tell me what that would change before you do it.”
4
Then approve
“Yes, go ahead.” Now it acts, and you know what you approved.
The dry-run step costs one message and prevents the expensive mistakes. Use it
for anything touching more than a handful of records.
🧯 If something goes wrong
It changed more than you meant
It changed more than you meant
Ask immediately: “What exactly did you just change? List every record.” Then
check Activity logs, which record what happened
regardless of what the agent reports.
It says it cannot find something
It says it cannot find something
Usually a naming mismatch. Ask it to list what it can see: “List all my power
lists”, then use the exact name it returns.
It claims an ID belongs to another platform
It claims an ID belongs to another platform
Ask it to look the ID up in your account rather than guess. If it is not
recognised, it is not in your account.
