Now you know the moment something breaks, not when your replies do.
Meet Insights - a live deliverability view inside Smartlead that watches every mailbox in your account and fixes what it can, reconnects, enables warmup, capacity, before you ever have to ask.
To find it, go to Automations in your sidebar under the AI Team tab, click the Insights icon.
Open it and you land on a live view: sends dispatched, a Live badge updating in real time, and a countdown to the next scan.
Here's what's possible:
One-click Reconnect fixes every blocked mailbox immediately
Every degrading mailbox filterable by issue (No Warm-up, Below 70, Blocked, Misfiring) or provider
Tap Summarise on any mailbox card for what's wrong and what to do
Switch between Last 7 Days and Last 14 Days, every number on the page re-scopes with you
Workforce Impact & Activity: see fixes applied, mailboxes fixed, and send capacity secured, not just today's snapshot
Honest, redesigned views that show real zero-send days instead of smoothing them out

Calls are no longer a separate part of your workflow.
Add a call wherever it fits inside the sequence you're already running.
Every sequence call opens with the full thread already in view: emails sent, opens, replies - no tab switching, no digging through history.
What’s More:
✅ Lead Upload & Direct Calling - Upload leads and start calling right away, without adding them as a sequence step
✅ Direct Dial - Dial any number manually, no lead upload required
✅ Number Enrichment from SmartProspect - Pull verified numbers straight from SmartProspect
Adding calls to your email sequence can drive up to 2.5× more positive replies and 30% higher conversion.
Because the best calls are never cold.

You now have a personal assistant inside Smartlead.
Meet SmartAssistant, your new support experience built right into the platform.
New to outbound? It walks you through setup.
Running campaigns? It handles the details.
Stuck on something? Skip the ticket. Just ask, and it answers using your account data, not generic advice.
Set up a campaign. Find leads. Fix an issue. Write a sequence. All through a single chat, on every page, inside your account.
This isn't a chatbot. It's a co-pilot that knows where you are and what you need.
Find it in the bottom-right corner of every page.

Now you can create up to 25 admin API keys, each with its own name.
One key for every integration is finally a thing of the past.
Until today, your entire Smartlead account ran on a single admin API key. One key powering your Zapier workflows, your Clay enrichment, your custom scripts, and every teammate touching the API. Rotating it broke everything. Revoking it broke everything. Debugging which integration was eating your rate limit?
What you can do now:
Create a dedicated key per integration (e.g., "Zapier Integration", "Clay Sync", "Internal Dashboard")
Give each team member their own key instead of sharing one
Rename, reset, or revoke any non-primary key without touching the others
Recover context on revoked keys from the new Revoked Keys tab
What hasn't changed: Your account's rate limit stays the same. It's now shared across all your admin keys instead of tied to one, so no surprise throttling.
Where to find it: Settings → API Key Management → + Create API Key

CLI vs. MCP — what's the difference? Use the CLI when you need data fast (no AI reasoning required). Use the MCP when you need Claude to reason over that data. They're built to complement each other.
