Require Approval Before a High-Impact Go-to-Market Change Goes Live

How Cargo holds a go-to-market pull request that would send or spend more than set limits until a reviewer adds the cargo:approve-impact label: the thresholds, what counts as high impact, who should approve, and what the gate does not catch.

The best GTM infrastructure is invisible

Every new GTM tool adds another place for sellers to look. The better design delivers prioritized accounts, the reason behind them and a next step inside the CRM and Slack, while RevOps and GTM engineering keep full visibility into what ran and why.

The end of the builder-only interface

AI agents are taking over building and running GTM systems. The interface doesn't disappear: it becomes where people direct, observe and govern the system, from a coding agent, Slack, the CRM or a cockpit. Why that only works when the logic lives beneath every interface.

Agentic Email Conversations With Leads From a Mailbox You Own

How to let an agent answer the leads who reply to you, on the same thread, from a mailbox your Cargo workspace owns: what it deploys, what the mailbox costs each month, the 5 to 40 sends a day warm-up ramp, and the suppression rules the send path enforces. A conversation agent, not a sequencer.

Ask @cargo on a Pull Request in Your Go-to-Market Repository

Build a TAM List by Industry, Headcount and Geography

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents build a total addressable market list with Cargo: count the market for free, then pull the companies at 0.01 credits each, with name, domain, industry, headcount and country. Commands, prices, fields, and how to keep it as a model.

Build and Host Your Company Website on Cargo With Your Own Domain

Run the company website as code: a statically exported Next.js app hosted on Cargo, served on your www domain, with every change a reviewed pull request. What the website-building cookbook deploys, how the DNS works whether or not Cargo holds it, what it costs and what it will not do.

Capture Every Sales Call into Your Go-to-Market Repo

Cargo's call-capture cookbook collects your recorded calls every morning, writes one log entry per call into your go-to-market repository, and promotes a claim into context only once two calls back it, as one pull request a human reviews.

A Daily Go-to-Market Standup in Slack and a Weekly Plan from Your Repo

Two Cargo cookbooks run the go-to-market team's rhythm from what already happened: standup recaps each day into the cadence log and posts a Slack digest, and weekly-planning ranks last week against your active initiatives every Monday, one pull request per initiative.

Declare One-Off Go-to-Market Batches and Runs in Code

Run a one-off go-to-market job from your repository: defineBatch enrolls records into a play or runs a tool over a filter, a segment or a CSV, defineRun runs a workflow once. Plan shows it, the next deploy runs it, and a ledger makes sure it never runs twice.

Deduplicate CRM Accounts and Contacts Without Bad Merges

How a go-to-market team deduplicates HubSpot, Salesforce or Attio accounts and contacts on a schedule: search the live CRM on hard identifiers before every decision, merge only exact, conflict-free matches, and send every other cluster to a Slack review that defaults to no merge.

Deploy Go-to-Market Changes When a Pull Request Merges

Connect the GitHub repository that holds your Cargo project and every pull request is planned as a comment and a check, and every merge to the production branch deploys. No workflow file, no API token stored in GitHub.

Draft LinkedIn Posts Every Week From Your Own Proof Points

How a go-to-market team keeps a founder or sales leader posting from real material: every Monday an agent drafts three LinkedIn posts from the proof points, objections and lessons already in your repository, cites the file behind every claim, and opens one pull request. Nothing is published automatically.

Draw Your Go-to-Market Resource Graph

One command draws every connector, model, segment, play, tool and agent in your go-to-market and how they connect, as a Mermaid flowchart or JSON: from the live Cargo workspace, or offline from your repository with the next deploy's changes marked.

Enrich a List of Companies by Domain: Industry, Headcount, Location, Founding Year

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents add firmographics (industry, headcount, location, founding year, LinkedIn page) to a list of company domains with Cargo: one batch call from 0.01 credits a company, misses free, and the next provider only on the gaps.

Enrich a Person from an Email Address or a Name and Company

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents turn an email address, or a name and a company, into a full person record with Cargo: reverse email lookup, name-and-company matching, the fields each provider returns, and what a miss costs.

Evaluate a Go-to-Market Agent or Prompt Before It Reaches Production

Test a go-to-market agent's prompt in CI before it deploys: a promptfoo suite next to the agent's defineAgent file, run on every pull request that changes either, merged only when it passes. Plus the evaluator that scores each turn in production.

Find a LinkedIn Profile URL from a Name and Company

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents resolve LinkedIn profile URLs from a name and company with Cargo: linkedin.findProfileUrl returns a URL only when exactly one profile matches, then a validation step confirms the current employer. Why the found rate is low, and why that is the point.

Find and Verify Work Emails at Scale (Waterfall, 0 Credits on Misses)

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents find and verify work emails for a whole list with Cargo: one batch call per provider, cheapest first, misses free, then one verify call. With Cargo platform data on hit rates and cost.

Find Companies Using a Technology or Hiring for a Role

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents find companies that use a given technology, or are hiring for a given role, with Cargo and TheirStack: one company search with tech and job filters, a job search for the postings themselves, and a stack lookup for one domain. Commands, filters, returned fields and prices.

Find LinkedIn Conversations About the Problem You Solve

Every Monday, search the week's public LinkedIn posts for your buyers' own words, judge them against your ICP, and get one Slack digest of the conversations worth joining and the commenters who look like buyers. How Cargo's social-listening cookbook works end to end, what a week costs, and why it never likes, comments or messages.

Find Mobile Phone Numbers for a List of Contacts (0 Credits on Misses)

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents find mobile phone numbers for a contact list with Cargo: which phone actions exist, what each costs and needs, a five-row pilot, then the next provider on the misses only.

Find Every Portfolio Company of an Investor, Then the People Inside

Identify Which Companies Visit Your Website and What They Read

See which companies read your website, which pages and where they came from: Snitcher resolves each visit to an organisation, two Cargo models keep the companies and their sessions current, and the tracker loads only after a visitor accepts. How it works, the fields, the cost per identified company, and what it will not do.

Keep Company and Competitor Context Fresh Every Week

How a go-to-market team keeps its positioning, ICP and competitor notes current for every agent that reads them: once a week one agent reads your site, competitors' pricing and changelog pages and the news, lets git show what changed, and opens one pull request. The reads cost at most 0.625 credits a run.

Turn a LinkedIn Profile URL into a Full Person Profile and a Work Email

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents turn LinkedIn profile URLs into full person profiles (title, company, experience, education) and verified work emails with Cargo: three batch calls, list prices from code, misses free.

Migrate from Apollo to Cargo, with a Side-by-Side Price

How a go-to-market team prices an Apollo list against Cargo on the same rows before moving it: Apollo's published plans and credit costs next to Cargo's per-action credits, a 20-row comparison you can run on free credits, and where Apollo stays cheaper.

Migrate from Clay to Cargo, Column by Column

How a go-to-market team moves a Clay table to Cargo one column at a time: map each enrichment column to a Cargo action, price the same rows on both tools, prove parity on a sample, and keep the columns you have not moved running in Clay.

Migrate from ZoomInfo to Cargo and Measure the Coverage You Gain or Lose

How a go-to-market team measures, before a ZoomInfo renewal, how much verified contact and company coverage it would keep on Cargo: re-derive 20 exported rows from their identifiers, verify both sides, and compare. ZoomInfo does not publish prices, so the cost side is your own contract.

Monitor Buying Signals on a List of Accounts

Check a list of target accounts for the dated, public events that mean someone is in market: a job post for the role you sell into, a company saying something new, a detection feed firing. The commands with the Cargo CLI and the open-source monitor-buying-signals skill, free check first, what each check costs, and what a signal does not give you.

Run a Monthly Win-Loss Review From Your CRM's Closed Deals

A go-to-market win-loss review that runs itself: once a month an agent runs fixed SQL over your CRM's closed deals, verifies the ICP against won versus lost, writes dated insights and objections with their denominators, and opens one pull request for a human to merge.

Nudge Stalled Deals Every Week with a Drafted Follow-Up

Cargo's stalled-deal-nudge cookbook posts one Slack digest per rep every Monday: their open deals with no logged activity in 14 days, the line the last activity left off on, why the deal is worth a touch now, and a follow-up drafted for the rep to send.

Prep Every External Meeting Automatically from the Calendar

Cargo's meeting-prep cookbook posts a Slack brief for every external meeting the moment it is booked on Google Calendar: who is joining, the open deal, the last line that mattered, one recent public event and a call tip, with reschedules threaded under it.

Preview What a Go-to-Market Change Will Send Before You Merge It

Connect your Cargo project's repository and every pull request gets a plan comment that counts what the merge sets in motion: records enrolled, emails, LinkedIn actions and messages sent, and credits spent, with an approval gate on large merges.

Qualify and Route Demo Requests in Seconds

Answer every demo request while the visitor is still on the page: identify the company from the work email, check it against your ICP, land the account and contact, tell the team in Slack, and show a booking link or a thank-you. How Cargo's inbound-qualification cookbook does it with a public form on a Cargo tool, what each submission costs, and what it will not do.

Research an Account Before a Meeting (Search, Scrape, Brief)

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents research one company before a call with Cargo: a Google search, a scrape of the company's own pages, a news search and its open roles, each line of the briefing traceable to a source. Commands, prices and returned fields.

Roll Back a Go-to-Market Change

How to undo a go-to-market change deployed from a Cargo project: revert the commit and deploy the revert, stop a play at once with isEnabled false, prune what the revert removed, and when cargo-ai project rollback is the right tool. What a rollback cannot undo.

Run Go-to-Market from Claude Code: Install, Sign In, Run a First Job

How to set up Claude Code for go-to-market work with Cargo: install the CLI, sign in from the terminal, add the skills plugin, connect the MCP server, and run a first job (a work email lookup at 0.5 credits). Every command, in order.

Run Go-to-Market from Codex, Cursor or OpenCode

Set up Codex, Cursor or OpenCode for go-to-market work with Cargo. The CLI and sign-in are identical; three things differ per agent: the skills install flag, whether a plugin exists, and the MCP config file. Each one, verified.

One Slack Agent the Whole Team Asks About Go-to-Market

Cargo's ask-cargo cookbook deploys one agent the team @mentions in Slack: it answers from your go-to-market repo and the live workspace with a source for every answer, turns change requests into pull requests, and runs anything that spends only after a go in the thread.

Spot Expansion Moments in Your Customer Base Before Renewal

How a go-to-market team flags which customers are ready to expand, at risk or due to reorder, sixty days before each renewal: one agent judges each account from its won deals and dated public events, writes the reason onto the account, and posts one Slack digest a week.

Sync Enriched Accounts to Attio: Upsert by Domain, Update by Record ID

Cargo's Attio connector writes enriched companies and people back to Attio natively: upsertRecords matches on a unique attribute such as domains and refuses ambiguous matches, updateRecords writes by record_id. How each behaves, and the cargo-ai commands to run the sync.

Track Funding Rounds and Find the Companies That Just Raised

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents find companies that just raised, by stage, date, size and country, and check the funding history of accounts they already have, with two Cargo actions. Commands, prices and returned fields.

Track Job Changes of Your Contacts (Moved, Left or Still There)

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents check which of their contacts changed jobs, and where they went, with one Cargo batch call: waterfall.detectJobChange, 3 credits a contact. Inputs, returned fields and how to schedule it without overspending.

Track the Next Steps Promised on Sales Calls

Cargo's next-step-tracker cookbook reads your go-to-market repo's call log every weekday, records each dated commitment made on a call, closes it only on evidence from the activity log, and posts what is due or overdue to one Slack channel.

Turn New Hires at Target Accounts Into Outbound

When a decision-maker starts at a company in your ICP, get it qualified and in front of a rep with the reason, while the hire is fresh. How Cargo's new-hire-detection cookbook watches a Sales Navigator job-change search, qualifies each company against your ICP and posts the fits to Slack, what each sync costs, and why it stops before sending.

Turn Website Visitors Into Routed, Qualified Leads

Two kinds of visitor, two pipelines on one site: anonymous readers become company rows, and visitors who ask for a demo become qualified, routed leads within the same visit. What Cargo's visitor-identification and inbound-qualification cookbooks deploy, how they connect, what they cost, and the wiring that does not exist yet.

Verify an Email List Before a Campaign

How go-to-market teams and their coding agents verify every address on a list before a send with Cargo: one batch call, what valid, invalid and catch-all mean, the status field each verifier returns, and why verification is billed per check.
