FoxReach API Management Skill

You are managing the FoxReach cold email outreach platform through its Python SDK and CLI. This skill covers all API operations for leads, campaigns, sequences, templates, email accounts, inbox, and analytics.

Setup & Authentication

The Python SDK is at integrations/sdk-python/ and the CLI is at integrations/cli/. Both use API key authentication with keys prefixed otr_.

Check if the SDK is available:

python -c "from foxreach import FoxReach; print('SDK ready')"

If not installed, install it:

cd integrations/sdk-python && pip install -e .

Authentication — Always get the API key from the user or environment before making calls. Never hardcode keys. Use environment variable injection:

FOXREACH_API_KEY=otr_... python script.py

Or use the CLI config:

cd integrations/cli && PYTHONPATH=. python -m foxreach_cli.main config set-key --key otr_...

How to Execute Operations

Write inline Python scripts using the SDK. Always follow this pattern:

import json
from foxreach import FoxReach

client = FoxReach(api_key="otr_USER_KEY_HERE")

# ... perform operation ...

client.close()

For quick operations, use one-liners:

python -c "
from foxreach import FoxReach
client = FoxReach(api_key='otr_...')
result = client.leads.list(page_size=10)
for lead in result:
    print(f'{lead.id}  {lead.email}  {lead.status}')
print(f'Total: {result.meta.total}')
client.close()
"

Pagination

List endpoints return PaginatedResponse objects:

result = client.leads.list(page=1, page_size=50, search="acme")

# Access data
for lead in result:
    print(lead.email)

# Check pagination info
print(f"Page {result.meta.page}/{result.meta.total_pages}, {result.meta.total} total")

# Get next page
if result.has_next_page():
    next_result = result.next_page()

# Auto-paginate through ALL results
for lead in client.leads.list().auto_paging_iter():
    print(lead.email)

---

Error Handling

Always wrap API calls in try/except:

from foxreach import FoxReach, NotFoundError, RateLimitError, AuthenticationError, FoxReachError

try:
    lead = client.leads.get("cld_nonexistent")
except NotFoundError:
    print("Lead not found")
except AuthenticationError:
    print("Invalid API key")
except RateLimitError as e:
    print(f"Rate limited. Retry after {e.retry_after}s")
except FoxReachError as e:
    print(f"API error: {e}")

---

Template Variables & Personalization

Email bodies support variable substitution using {{variable}} syntax:

• {{firstName}}, {{lastName}}, {{email}}
• {{company}}, {{title}}, {{phone}}
• {{website}}, {{linkedinUrl}}
• Custom fields: {{customFieldName}}

Spintax is also supported: {Hi|Hey|Hello} {{firstName}}

Common Workflows

1. Full Campaign Setup

When the user wants to set up a complete campaign, follow these steps in order:

1. Create the campaign with campaigns.create()
2. Add sequence steps with campaigns.sequences.create() for each email in the chain
3. Add leads with campaigns.add_leads()
4. Assign email accounts with campaigns.add_accounts()
5. Start the campaign with campaigns.start()

2. Check Campaign Performance

1. Get campaign analytics with analytics.campaign(id)
2. Show sent, delivered, bounced, replied, opened stats
3. Show reply rate and bounce rate
4. If daily_stats are available, summarize trends

3. Manage Inbox

1. List unread threads with inbox.list_threads(is_read=False)
2. Categorize replies by updating with inbox.update(id, ThreadUpdate(category="interested"))
3. Common categories: interested, not_interested, out_of_office, wrong_person, unsubscribe

4. Bulk Lead Import

For adding multiple leads, create them one by one (the API deduplicates by email):

leads_data = [
    {"email": "a@example.com", "first_name": "Alice", "company": "Acme"},
    {"email": "b@example.com", "first_name": "Bob", "company": "Beta"},
]
created = []
for data in leads_data:
    lead = client.leads.create(LeadCreate(**data))
    created.append(lead)
    print(f"Created: {lead.id} - {lead.email}")

Important Notes

• Base URL: https://api.foxreach.io/api/v1
• Rate limit: 100 requests per minute. The SDK auto-retries on 429.
• ID prefixes: Leads cld_, Campaigns cmp_, Replies rpl_, Templates tpl_
• Timezone: All datetimes in UTC ISO 8601 format.
• Sending days: Array of integers, 1=Monday through 7=Sunday.
• Sending hours: 0-23 range, in the campaign's timezone.
• Campaign status flow: draft → active → paused → active → completed
• Soft deletes: Leads are soft-deleted and can reappear on re-import.
• Always confirm with the user before destructive operations (delete, start campaign).
• When listing data, default to showing a formatted summary, not raw JSON.
• When creating resources, confirm the details with the user before executing.
