Automate lemlist

Act on what happens in your lemlist campaigns without watching the inbox all day. Replies, bounces and unsubscribes can reach your team the moment lemlist records them, and replies can be sorted so only real interest gets attention. Describe what you want to your AI assistant, check what it will do, and it keeps running with your laptop closed.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: when someone replies to any of my lemlist campaigns, post their name, company, campaign name and the first few lines of the reply to #outbound in Slack.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in lemlist

Know the second a lead answers, see only the replies worth a follow-up, and catch list problems while a campaign is still sending. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.
The moment it happens

Get a Slack message when a lemlist lead replies

Each reply shows up in Slack with the lead's name, the campaign and the start of their message.

Hear about bounces and unsubscribes in lemlist

Bounced addresses and opt-outs are posted with the lead and campaign, so you can fix a bad list early.

Any other automation you can describe in words

Your own rules, schedule and AI steps with lemlist, plus any other app. Describe it and your assistant builds it.

Build your own

Build any lemlist automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what lemlist should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every day, check lemlist campaign stats and pause any campaign whose bounce rate is above 5 percent.

When a lemlist lead replies, post the reply and lead name in Slack.

When a lemlist lead is marked interested, create a HubSpot deal, add the lead to a Google Sheet and draft a follow-up for me.

Beyond chat

Have lemlist work when you're not in the chat

Connecting lemlist to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect lemlist

You connect lemlist with an API key generated in your own lemlist account. Copy it straight away, because lemlist may only show it once.

lemlist

Cold email

  1. In lemlist, open Settings, then Integrations, then API.
  2. Choose Generate and copy the key right away.
  3. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the key as a secret for lemlist. It is sent with Basic auth, with an empty username and the key as the password.

Good to know

lemlist limits that affect automations

  • lemlist allows about 20 API requests every 2 seconds, which leaves plenty of room for alerts and lookups.
  • Replies, bounces and unsubscribes arrive as lemlist events, so alerts fire as they happen rather than on a timer.
  • lemlist may show a new API key only once. If you lose it, generate a new one and update the secret in the ClickRuntime dashboard.

FAQ

Questions about automating lemlist

Which lemlist events can start an automation?
The automations here react to replies, bounces and unsubscribes. lemlist sends each event to a ClickRuntime link as it happens, with the lead and campaign attached.
How fast will I hear about a reply?
Within moments. Reply alerts are triggered by lemlist's own event, not by checking on a schedule.
Can it tell an interested reply from an out-of-office?
Yes. Reply triage reads each reply and labels it Interested, Not interested, Out of office or Unsubscribe, so you only get pinged about the first kind.
Do I need AI for lemlist automations?
Only for sorting replies. Reply, bounce and unsubscribe alerts run without it. Triage uses the AI that comes with every ClickRuntime plan, so you don't need your own AI key.
What happens if I regenerate my lemlist key?
The old key stops working. Save the new one in place of the old secret in the ClickRuntime dashboard and your automations carry on.
Is this a lemlist connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with lemlist data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change lemlist while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each lemlist event.
