Describe what you want

Say it plainly — the kind of business, where, and which people inside it. The plan is shown before anything runs, and rounds after the first are chosen from what actually produced results.

Find leads

Long-tail expansion

One head term competes with everyone. Long-tail variants reach businesses the head term buries.

Which source fits?

Each source declares what it can actually honour, so nothing silently discards your filters.

AI and the Agentic OS

LeadForge talks to the OpenAI-compatible chat protocol. Point it at your Agentic OS gateway once that is exposed over HTTP, or at any compatible endpoint in the meantime — the contract is the same either way.

Letting an agent drive LeadForge

Your future mail agent authenticates with an account API key in an X-API-Key header, and reads what it can do from the manifest below. It is published rather than hard-coded, so the agent follows changes instead of breaking.

API access

For scripts, integrations and the MCP server.

Do-not-contact list

Applied at export: suppressed records stay in your data but can never leave it.

Network routes

Contact lists

Lists are what campaigns send to. Import a finished scrape straight in, or upload a CSV.

Sender setup

Your own SMTP is used when present; otherwise the system sender the administrator configured is used.

Add a sender

The password is encrypted before it is stored.

Sender warm-up

Ramps how much this sender may send per day. A new domain that suddenly sends hundreds looks like a hijacked mailbox.

Seed inboxes — watch where mail lands
Shows inbox-versus-spam placement. Mail to your own inbox builds no reputation — this is for observation only.

Search contacts

Searches every list at once. Filter by seniority to reach the people who decide, or type a mailbox name like manager to match addresses directly. People only hides shared inboxes such as info@ and sales@.

Scraping

Mail server

Every sender configured on this system, and what it has sent.
Sending by account
Most recent failures and bounces

Sent and bounced

Every message this account has attempted, and what happened to it.

Read bounces back

Most bounces never appear while sending — the server accepts the message, then posts a notice minutes later. Connect the sending mailbox and LeadForge reads those notices, suppresses genuinely dead addresses, and ignores rate limits.

not connected
Reads only. Nothing is marked as read or deleted.

Users

Everyone with a LeadForge login: what they may do, what they have collected, and signing in as them to see exactly what they see.

Share lists with users

Contacts are copied into a list the recipient owns. Later additions to your copy will not appear in theirs.

Sessions

A limit of 0 stops the activity entirely — clearer than leaving a permission on and letting every attempt fail.

Danger

Deleting removes the login. Their scraped leads and delivery history are kept unless you purge them, and a purge cannot be undone.

Filter out emails

Anyone excluded here is skipped when the campaign is queued.

Tick anyone who should not receive this campaign.

Choose earlier campaigns. Every address they reached is left out of this one, so nobody hears from you twice.
