How teams use Smartlead with Tapistro
Teams running cold email through Smartlead use Tapistro to decide which prospects go into a campaign and when. A Journey qualifies prospects using your signals, filters, and AI Agents. It then automatically adds them to the correct Smartlead campaign—no list building, no CSV exports, no manual uploads between qualification and outreach.
Tapistro has Smartlead as a Destination available with its subscription. The handoff happens as the final step of a Journey.
Connect Smartlead
To use your existing Smartlead account in Tapistro, follow these steps:
Log into Tapistro, and go to the Connections tab from the left sidebar.
Click New Connection and provide a name.
Select Smartlead in the external system field.
Provide your Smartlead API key.
Save the connection. Tapistro validates the key by checking access to your Smartlead campaigns, to ensure during setup that the API key is valid.
Note: Smartlead is available with the Tapistro subscription.
Add prospects to a Smartlead campaign from a Journey
Open your Journey and add an Activation step.
Select Smartlead as the Destination.
Pick the campaign from the dropdown. Tapistro fetches your campaign list live from Smartlead, so you don't need to copy campaign IDs.
When the Journey runs, details of every person who reaches the Activation step are added as a lead to the selected Smartlead campaign, and your Smartlead sequence takes over.
