Build an SDR agent with its own follow-up inbox
Short summary
Build autonomous SDR agents using Nylas Agent Accounts — dedicated mailboxes that your agent owns and controls end-to-end. Unlike traditional outbound sequences that fire blindly and lose prospect replies to no-reply boxes, Agent Accounts let you receive responses, classify them semantically (not now vs pricing request vs unsubscribe), and route each signal to the right next action — all fully autonomous. The architecture: treat the email thread as your message channel and keep sequence state in your own database.
- •Nylas Agent Accounts let autonomous agents send and receive mail from dedicated addresses they own and control
- •Replies get classified and routed intelligently instead of disappearing into no-reply boxes
- •Sequences pause on engagement using webhook-triggered state changes instead of blind cron scheduling
