Post-Send Conversation Chain

A conversation object opens at first reply with its context assembled exactly once, so classification, drafting, follow-up, and the call all read the same pack and cannot contradict each other. A severity read is proposed by a seat and decided at a human gate, cadence halts on any inbound, and booking happens on the prospect's behalf rather than behind a link.

Pelican Reply Hub

When a prospect replies to a cold email, Pelican filters out the auto-replies, detects interest, and posts an alert to Slack with a Reply button. The rep writes their response in a Slack form and Pelican sends it through the email platform — instant confirmation, the send finishes in the background, and it never double-sends even when Slack retries a click. A daily sweep catches anything the instant alerts missed.

Interested replies stop falling through the cracks. Reps answer from the tool they already live in instead of digging through a sending platform they rarely open, and response time on the most valuable moment in cold email — someone saying “tell me more” — drops to one click.

Behind the hub runs a full post-send chain: every reply typed with a human approving the read, cadence that halts the instant anything comes inbound, booking handled on the prospect's behalf rather than behind a link, and a do-not-contact list read at send time — never cached, never negotiated with.
