Episode notes
Warm Up Domains Before Autonomous Emailing
- Do include warm-up and deliverability steps before letting an autonomous agent send mass email campaigns.
- Amelia and Jason emphasize domain warm-up, staged sending, and using third-party warmed services (Monaco, AgentForce) to protect deliverability.
Replit Fixed Marketo Unsubscribe In Minutes
- Jason hooked Marketo's dated API into Replit and had Replit build a custom unsubscribe flow to actually delete contacts via API.
- Replit built the working unsubscribe page in ~10 minutes, replacing a broken Marketo flow while Marketo took 10+ days to respond.
Headless Salesforce Makes Data The Interface
- Headless Salesforce lets non-admins like Jason access live company data via agents without logging into Salesforce directly.
- By surfacing Salesforce through 10K and Slackbot, agents become the interface, increasing daily usage and enabling cross-system analytics.
