3. Run email verification using Verify Email (BetterEnrich).
4. Add a Formula Column to filter: IF({{Deliverable}} == "true", {{Email}}, "").
5. Add an Action Column for Add Leads to Campaign (Smartlead).
6. Map Email, First Name, Last Name, and any custom personalization variables.
7. Paste the Campaign ID from Smartlead into the fixed-value input for Campaign ID.
8. Run enrichment.

Troubleshooting

Add Leads to Campaign returns "campaign not found". Run List Campaigns to confirm the Campaign ID. Campaign IDs are numeric. Do not use the campaign name as the ID.

Leads are added but the campaign is not sending. Confirm that the campaign status is active in Smartlead and that your sending email accounts are connected and warmed up. Leads added to paused campaigns do not receive emails until the campaign is resumed.

Custom fields are not appearing in emails. Custom fields must match the variable names used in your Smartlead email template exactly (including capitalization). Check the variable names in your Smartlead template and use the same names in the TexAu column mapping.

List Leads by Campaign ID returns 0 leads despite having leads in Smartlead. Confirm you are using the correct Campaign ID. Use List Campaigns to get all campaign IDs and verify.
