Use SalesBlink with Claude Code

Manage SalesBlink directly from Claude Code using natural language.

P Priya Singh · Last updated

Overview

Connect SalesBlink directly to Claude Code so you can manage cold email outreach without leaving your terminal. Create prospect lists, launch sequences, check replies, and track campaign performance using natural language commands.

Prerequisites

Before you start, confirm you have the following:

  • SalesBlink API key: Retrieve it from SalesBlink Dashboard > Integrations > API.
  • Claude Code installed: Make sure you have the Claude Code CLI set up in your environment.

Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Get your API key

  1. Log in to your SalesBlink account.
  2. Click Account in the Top Navbar.
  3. Select Integrations from the dropdown.
  4. Click the API tab.
  5. Click Create API Key.
  6. Enter a name for your API key (e.g., "Claude Code").
  7. Click Create New API Key.
  8. Copy the generated API key.

Step 2: Install the SalesBlink plugin

You can install the SalesBlink plugin for Claude Code using either of the following methods.

Method 1: Add from marketplace

Run the following command in your Claude Code chat:

/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/open-salesblink/skill

Method 2: Direct install

Run the following command in your Claude Code chat:

/plugin install cold-email-salesblink

Step 3: Set your API key

After installation, configure the plugin with your SalesBlink API key. Set the environment variable in your terminal or in your Claude Code configuration:

export SALESBLINK_API_KEY=your_salesblink_api_key_here

Note: Replace your_salesblink_api_key_here with the actual key you copied in Step 1.

For persistence, add this line to your ~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, or .env file.

Step 4: Verify the connection

Test that Claude Code can reach SalesBlink.

  1. Open Claude Code.
  2. Ask a simple question, such as:
    • "Show me my SalesBlink lists"
    • "What sequences are running?"
  3. Claude should respond with live data from your SalesBlink account.

Example commands

Here are more examples of what you can ask Claude Code:

Task Example Command
Create a list "Create a list called Marketing Agencies in New York"
Add prospects "Add these emails to my SaaS Founders list"
Launch a sequence "Launch the Welcome Sequence to my new list"
Check replies "Show me replies from this week"
View analytics "How many opens did my campaign get yesterday?"
Run a test "Run an inbox placement test for john@mycompany.com"
Verify emails "Verify john@example.com and sarah@example.com"

Troubleshooting

Plugin not found

  • Confirm you are using the exact command shown in Step 2.
  • Make sure your Claude Code CLI is up to date.

Connection failed

  • Confirm your API key is active in SalesBlink Dashboard> Integrations> API.
  • Make sure the SALESBLINK_API_KEY environment variable is exported in the same terminal session running Claude Code.
  • Restart Claude Code after any configuration change.

Permission errors

  • Check that your SalesBlink API key has the necessary scopes for the actions you want to perform.
