LeadMagic CLI

Overview

The LeadMagic CLI provides terminal access to email finding, validation, company enrichment, and outbound platform integration. Use it to automate enrichment workflows, batch-process CSV files, and push verified contacts to sending platforms — all without leaving the terminal.

When to Use

• "Use the LeadMagic CLI to find emails"
• "Validate a CSV of contacts from the command line"
• "Push enriched contacts to Smartlead via CLI"
• "Automate enrichment in a shell script"
• "Batch process contacts with LeadMagic"
• "Find specific roles at companies via CLI"

Authentication and current documentation

Install lm-tui, then use lm login for browser OAuth. Never paste a REST API key into normal CLI configuration. Check lm --help and the command reference for the installed version before writing automation.

Key Commands

Email Finding

lm find email -f Jane -l Smith -d company.com

Returns a verified work email for the given name and domain. Pay-per-result pricing — only charged when a valid email is found.

Email Validation

lm validate -f contacts.csv -c email

Validates all emails in the specified CSV column. Returns valid/invalid/risky/ unknown status per email. Process 4 validations per credit.

Bulk CSV Enrichment

lm enrich -i contacts.csv --batch-size 25

Enriches a CSV with auto-detected columns. Processes in configurable batches for reliability. Adds columns for found emails, verification status, and enrichment metadata.

Role Finding

lm find role -c "Acme Corp" -t "VP Sales"

Finds people with specific titles at a company. Returns name, title, and verified email where available.

Profile Enrichment

lm find profile-search -p linkedin.com/in/janesmith

Fetch full professional profiles from profile URLs. Includes work history, education, and skills data.

Outbound Platform Push

lm integrations smartlead connect
lm integrations smartlead campaigns
lm integrations smartlead push --campaign <id>

Connect to Smartlead, Instantly, or EmailBison. List campaigns, push enriched contacts, view stats. All from terminal.

Workflow Pattern

1. Find contacts: lm find role or lm find email for individual lookups
2. Bulk enrich: lm enrich -i input.csv for batch processing
3. Validate external addresses: use lm validate -f external.csv -c email for emails sourced outside LeadMagic
4. Push: lm integrations smartlead push to outbound platform

Email Finder returns validated work emails; do not immediately run them through validation again. Review consent, suppression status, and the final audience before any sequencer push.

Scripting Integration

# Shell script: enrich and push weekly
#!/bin/bash
lm enrich -i weekly_leads.csv --batch-size 25 -o enriched_$(date +%Y%m%d).csv
# Finder-returned emails are already validated; validate external lists separately.
lm integrations smartlead push --campaign main_campaign

Output Format

Commands produce structured JSON or CSV output. All results include source attribution and confidence indicators. Pipe into other tools or import into spreadsheets.

Quality Check

Before delivering, verify:

• All required sections are complete
• Output matches the user's stated need
• Named frameworks are cited for key recommendations
• No vague claims — every recommendation has a specific action
• Deliverable is ready for operational use, not just conceptual

Common Pitfalls

1. Paying twice for verification. Finder-returned work emails are already validated. Use validation for externally sourced or stale CRM lists.

2. Batch size too large. Stick to 25-50 per batch for reliability. Larger batches risk timeouts.

3. Treating all email sources alike. Keep finder results separate from external email lists so only the latter need a validation pass.

4. Wrong CSV column mapping. Check detected columns with lm enrich -i input.csv --dry-run before running paid batches.

Execution Artifacts

• references/framework-notes.md — CLI patterns, source-aware email verification, Eric scale ops
• templates/output-template.md — command sequence + verify gate deliverable
• scripts/check-output.py — local checklist validator for required sections This skill includes lightweight artifacts the agent can load on demand:
• references/cli-workflow-patterns.md — source-aware enrichment pipelines (Patterns A–E)
• ../leadmagic-waterfall/references/waterfall-column-spec.md — Clay alternative for recurring
• ../../tools/smartlead-workflows/references/clay-enrollment-handoff.md — post-CLI sequencer handoff
• ../../outbound/cold-email-copywriting/references/pat-spielmann-outbound-copy.md — verify-before-send (Pat Spielmann)
• ../../../../references/gtm-experts-outbound-index.md — expert router Use the artifacts when the user asks for an implementation-ready deliverable, a repeatable workflow, or a quality check rather than generic advice.
