How to add leads to an agent
Add a person you already have to an agent's campaign, or a whole list at once
Updated 3 November 2026
An agent writes to the people in its own campaign. A Sales Agent finds people itself from the audience you approved, and you can add someone you already have on the agent's Leads tab. A person you add goes through the same checks as an import, and the agent writes to them once it is turned on.
Before you start
- An agent that has finished setting up, so it has its campaign
- The person's email address
- About 3 minutes
Add one person
Step 1: Open Cipher Agents
- In the left menu, click the robot icon, Cipher Agents.
Step 2: Open the agent's Leads tab
- Click the agent to open its page.
- Click the Leads tab under its name.
Step 3: Add the person
- Click Add lead above the list.
- Type the email address. First name, last name, company, job title and the rest are optional; they fill the agent's emails.
- Leave the verify box ticked to check the address first (1 credit). Untick it and the agent checks the address before it writes.
- Click Add to this agent. A line under the form says whether the person was added, or why not.
Add a whole list
Step 4: Use the agent's campaign
- Open Campaigns and click the agent's campaign.
- On its Leads tab, paste the addresses or upload a CSV or TXT file, as for any campaign.
- Or give Cipher AI the addresses and ask it to add them to the agent.
Troubleshooting
It says this agent has no campaign yet
An agent gets its campaign when its setup finishes. Finish setting it up with Cipher AI, then add the person again.
It says the address is already in this campaign
That person is already one of the agent's leads, so nothing changed.
It says the address was deleted from this campaign before
Someone removed that person from the agent's campaign, and SpamCipher remembers it so they are not emailed again by mistake.
It says the address is on my blocklist or suppression list
That person unsubscribed, bounced or was blocked, so they are never emailed. Remove them from Suppressions only if you are sure.
The agent has not written to the person yet
A draft agent does not run. Turn it on from its page; until then the person waits in its campaign.
