Compares, selects, and configures cold email sending platforms: Smartlead, Instantly, Salesforge, Apollo, and others. Use when the user asks which sending platform to use, needs to compare features or pricing, wants to migrate between platforms, or needs platform-specific setup guidance. Activates on phrases like "which email platform," "Smartlead vs Instantly," "best sending tool," "Salesforge setup," "Apollo sequences," or "migrate sending platform.".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Sending Platforms

## Overview

Choosing a cold email sending platform is not a feature-comparison exercise.
It is a business decision that determines your deliverability ceiling, your
workflow efficiency, and your ability to scale. The wrong platform choice
costs you thousands of emails that never reach the inbox — and you won't know
it until open rates collapse.

This skill compares the four major cold email sending platforms — Smartlead,
Instantly, Salesforge, and Apollo — across the dimensions that matter: pricing,
warmup quality, API access, CRM integration, sequence capabilities, analytics,
and deliverability infrastructure. It also covers setup guidance for each
platform and a decision matrix for different use cases (solo founder, SDR team,
enterprise outbound).

The non-obvious rule: the platform with the most features is not the best
platform. The best platform is the one with the most reliable inbox placement
for YOUR specific sending profile (volume, industry, email provider mix). A
platform with excellent Gmail deliverability but poor Outlook deliverability
is the wrong choice if 60% of your targets use Outlook.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add leadmagic/gtm-skills/sending-platforms@sha256:5e1ad14f91700305

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
