Frequently asked questions

Emelia processes email and phone discovery as background jobs rather than instant responses. When Ceven initiates a find email or verify email request, Emelia returns a job ID. Ceven then enters a polling state where it periodically checks the status of that job using the Get Find Email Result or Get Verify Email Result actions. Once the status changes to completed, the agent extracts the data and moves the lead to the next step in your workflow, such as adding them to a campaign. This ensures your workflow does not time out while waiting for external data providers to return the contact information.
Yes. Ceven can use the Delete Contact From Campaign action to remove a lead from a top of funnel sequence and immediately use the Add Contact To Campaign action to move them into a bottom of funnel sequence. This is commonly used when a lead hits a specific engagement threshold, such as clicking a pricing link three times. The agent monitors the campaign activities and triggers the move automatically, ensuring the prospect receives the most relevant messaging based on their behavior without any manual intervention from your sales team.
Ceven can monitor the status of your email providers and campaigns, but the actual warm up process is managed internally by Emelia. Warm up involves sending and receiving emails automatically to build domain reputation. While Ceven cannot manually trigger a warm up email, it can read the list of configured email providers to ensure your sending accounts are active before it begins pushing high volume lead lists into your campaigns. This prevents you from accidentally burning a new domain by sending too many cold emails too quickly.
Ceven can be configured to listen for specific keywords in your inbox or CRM, such as stop emailing me or remove me. When these phrases are detected, the agent immediately calls the Add Contact to Blacklist action in Emelia. This ensures that the contact is blocked across all future campaigns globally. Because this happens in real time, it significantly reduces the risk of a prospect marking your email as spam, which protects your sender score and keeps your emails landing in the primary inbox rather than the spam folder.
Ceven is bound by the API rate limits and plan quotas set by Emelia. A critical quirk to note is that Emelia enforces strict daily limits on email and phone discovery jobs based on your subscription tier. If a workflow attempts to find emails for a list of five thousand leads in one hour, Emelia may return a rate limit error or exhaust your monthly credit balance. To handle this, Ceven implements a queuing system that drips leads into Emelia over several hours or days to stay within your specific plan limits.
Absolutely. Ceven can create a multi channel sequence by orchestrating both the Create Campaign and Create LinkedIn Campaign actions. For example, the agent can be told to add a lead to a LinkedIn campaign first, and if there is no response after three days, it can then trigger an email find job and add the lead to an email campaign. This synchronized approach increases the chance of a response by touching the prospect on multiple platforms in a coordinated manner rather than spamming them on every channel at once.
When Ceven initiates an email verification job, it waits for the result before taking further action. If the result returns as invalid or risky, the agent can be programmed to either skip that contact entirely or move them to a separate list for manual review. This prevents your Emelia campaigns from sending to dead addresses, which is the primary cause of high bounce rates. By filtering out invalid emails at the workflow level, Ceven ensures that only high quality, deliverable addresses ever enter your active outreach sequences.
Yes. Ceven can use the Create Webhook action to tell Emelia to send a notification whenever a specific event occurs, such as a lead replying to a campaign. When that webhook fires, it can trigger a wider Ceven workflow that updates your CRM, notifies a sales rep in Slack, and moves the lead to a hot prospect stage. This turns Emelia from a siloed sending tool into a trigger for your entire sales stack, ensuring that no lead goes unfollowed after they show interest.
