Can I review and edit the outreach emails drafted by the AI?
Yes, you maintain full control over the communication flow. You can definitely review and edit all outreach emails before they are sent to prospects. The agent allows you to customize how emails are written to match your brand's voice and your specific selling style and motion.
This ability to customize and review is crucial for quality assurance and brand consistency.
