Launch a campaign from Claude: create it paused, check it, then resume
The assistant checks that you have a persona and a connected account, creates the campaign paused so it sends nothing, shows you what it built, and resumes it only when you say so. It is the safest way to set up a campaign from a chat.

What this recipe does
Three checks, one create call and a confirmation. The create call fails with a list of what is missing and creates nothing, so it cannot leave a half built campaign by accident.
Connect the Sellinger connector first (claude.ai: Settings, Connectors, Add custom connector, paste https://app.sellinger.ai/api/v2/mcp). The steps are on the MCP page.
The prompt
Help me launch a LinkedIn outreach campaign called [name]. 1. Call list_personas and ask me which persona to use. 2. Call check_account_health and confirm a LinkedIn account is connected and active. 3. Call create_campaign with agent_type outreach, the persona_id and channel linkedin. It is created paused. 4. Call get_agent and show me the persona, channel and goal that were attached. 5. Do not call update_campaign with active true until I confirm.
The exact tools it calls
| Tool | What the recipe uses it for |
|---|---|
| `list_personas` | The identities a campaign can write with |
| `check_account_health` | Shows whether a channel account is connected and active, and why nothing might be sending |
| `create_campaign` | Creates the campaign PAUSED. Checks the persona and channel account first and creates nothing if either is missing |
| `get_agent` | Reads back the campaign with its configs and channels |
| `update_campaign` | Resumes with active true, or pauses with active false |
The connector has 43 tools in total.
What needs your approval
- A new campaign sends nothing until resumed.
- Resuming with update_campaign active true starts outreach. Confirm first.
- Importing leads into the campaign starts outreach too, so see the find new prospects recipe.
Sample output
No sample output is published for this recipe yet. It has not been run end to end in Claude or ChatGPT for this page, and we do not invent output. The tool names and what each returns are taken from the connector's tool descriptions in the product code (checked 19 October 2026). When a real run is captured it will be added here with its date.
Notes and limits
- agent_type can be outreach, inbound, ads_conversions or customer_success.
- You can pass without_persona or without_channel_account to create an incomplete campaign deliberately. It then writes with the generic fallback prompt or cannot deliver until an account is connected.
Common questions
Will it start sending when created?
What if I have no persona?
Which channels can I create for?
